2 bedroom terraced house

A beautifully presented two bedroom cottage on a quiet side street in the heart of Bampton. South facing detached garden and views over the village to the surrounding countryside. No onward chain.

The property is quietly tucked away in a pretty little side street, yet within a short walk of the many amenities that this charming country village has to offer, including some delightful shops, pubs, a 15th century church, primary school and doctors surgery. The larger market town of Tiverton lies 7 miles to the south with dual carriage way access to J27 of the M5 and Tiverton Parkway station which provides regular intercity services to London (Paddington 2 hours). The whole area is known for its outstanding natural beauty with Exmoor National Park just 3.5 miles to the north and the beaches of the beautiful North Devon coast are only a 40 minute drive.

Leap Cottage is a charming period cottage believed to date back to the mid-19th century with beautifully presented accommodation and many period features including wooden latch doors, exposed stone walls and timbers and the original fireplaces, making a very comfortable home with two double bedrooms, and a delightful south facing cottage garden.

The ground floor comprises an entrance porch, sitting room with a Cornish slate tiled floor and fireplace with wood burning stove, built in fitted cupboards and shelving to both sides of the fireplace. A door leads through to the dining room with window seat and built in fitted base units along the length of one wall with integrated fridge and freezer. The kitchen has cream wooden units with sink, double oven and electric hob and a door to outside. On the first floor there is a double bedroom with the original cast iron fireplace and a good-sized bathroom including a bath with shower over, pedestal basin, WC, electric heated towel rail and ample storage with a linen cupboard housing the hot water tank and immersion heater, and a further storage cupboard. Stairs to second floor galleried double bedroom, a bright and light room with large Velux window, window to side with views, and under eaves storage.

From the kitchen, a door leads to the shared garden path with useful utility/storage shed to one side with electric and plumbing for washing machine. Further along the path is a wood store and bin storage area and off to the left of the path is a gate giving rear access to the cottage from Frog Street. The private garden is a real delight, south facing with a decked seating and bar area, ideal for sitting and enjoying the wonderful views over Bampton and the surrounding countryside. There is also a useful timber garden shed.
