Situated in the heart of the Duchy town of Bradninch, Rivendell is a charming and spacious period home with an intriguing layout, offering exceptional versatility. Dating back to the 1790s, this historic cob cottage, formerly a bootmaker’s workshop, has been thoughtfully adapted over the years to provide multi-generational living, home working, a separate annexe, or even a potential letting opportunity. A welcoming hallway leads to two of the spacious reception rooms, each full of character, including a charming sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove. The dining room is short step from the kitchen, with dual aspect, and the spacious lounge also features a wood burner and French doors opening to the garden. The property benefits from two well-equipped kitchens, making it an excellent option for dual occupancy, an annexe, or potential Airbnb rental. The main kitchen has been upgraded by the current owners, featuring a Howdens kitchen, Quartz worktop, Rangemaster cooker, twin sinks, and garden views. The second kitchen is well-appointed with fitted cupboards, space for appliances, and a separate entrance. A ground-floor shower room with a WC and vanity unit completes this level. The first floor is accessed via two staircases, and offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Bedroom One – A bright, dual-aspect double bedroom, featuring a Victorian fireplace and built-in wardrobes. Bedroom Two – A versatile single bedroom with storage. Bedroom Three – An impressive double bedroom with fitted wardrobes. Bedroom Four – A highly characterful bedroom with limited head height, Velux window, and direct garden access. Combined with the second kitchen below, this space has previously been used as an independent living area. The modern family bathroom includes a P-shaped bath with a power shower, while a second bathroom offers a traditional cast-iron bath and separate shower. The Vendors Love – "The private, mature garden, which becomes a wonderful sun trap in the summer. We also love how friendly Bradninch is, with its many activities and annual events. This house truly feels like home - we appreciate its history and especially enjoy the log burners in the winter." The private south-facing rear garden is a true highlight, offering a large patio area, ideal for alfresco dining. Steps lead to a lawned area with fruit trees, an ornamental pond and fountain, while a decking area provides a private area to relax. The superb insulated log cabin is fully powered, centrally heated, and currently used as a home office, but could also serve as a creative studio. Additional garden stores and a workshop offer ample storage. The carport provides space for two cars with an electric car charging point. This exceptional period home must be viewed to fully appreciate its charm, space, and versatility.
