Rivendell is a vibrant and characterful home which dates back to circa 1780, and occupies a lovely position in Great Elm with far-reaching views across its gardens and beyond.

The semi-detached house has two to three bedrooms but it is the gardens which are a superb feature of the house, comprising large lawns, mature trees, a large entertaining terrace and a pond. There is also a garden shed and a greenhouse in all, approximately 1.27 acres.

For sale for £895,000 the house is being marketed by Knight Frank, Bath.

The kitchen/breakfast room boasts Chinese slate flooring and a six burner Britannia stove with double oven. Also on this floor is a large bathroom with Jacuzzi bath and shower.

Stairs lead down to the pool complex with heated swimming pool, a useful kitchenette, wine store and plant room. Doors open out to the patio/garden area. There are louvres along the windows which provide warm air to prevent condensation forming, and there is a counter current in the swimming pool.
