Outside the large level gardens approaching half an acre are meticulously maintained and are a most attractive feature of the property. There is space to park several vehicles, boat and/or caravan within the grounds and there is a double garage.

SITUATION: The popular Mendip village of Chilcompton offers a wide range of amenities including a general store, Post Office, Doctors surgery, highly regarded primary school, public houses, village church, hair salon, village hall and petrol station. There is a thriving local community and the village offers excellent recreational facilities including football pitches, tennis courts and skate board park. The renowned Downside public boys/girls school is just five minutes away. For a more extensive range of facilities the neighbouring town of Midsomer Norton is 2 miles distant and for those wishing to commute the cities of Wells, Bath and Bristol lie within daily travelling distance.

DIRECTIONS: From Midsomer Norton town centre proceed up Silver Street and continue straight out of town. At the major crossroads take the right turn along the B3139 towards Chilcompton and continue into the village. Pass the Vauxhall garage and take the third turning on the left into Rock Road.
