Briton Street, Bampton, Tiverton

The Old Malt Cottage is a most charming period cottage conveniently situated in the heart of Bampton. Built of stone under a slate roof, the property is beautifully light and airy with some lovely exposed beams and timbers and cottage style doors. On the ground floor, the accommodation comprises an entrance hall and inner hallway, double bedroom with en-suite shower room and a second bedroom or study. Upstairs, there is a cloakroom, double aspect sitting room with a wood burning stove and a spacious kitchen with fitted wall and floor units, electric cooker, space for fridge/freezer, cupboard housing the hot water cylinder and useful shelved storage cupboard. Solar panels on the roof contribute to the home's energy efficiency with battery storage.

Whilst there is no outside space to the rear of the cottage, there is potential (subject to planning) to put a first floor balcony to the rear, leading off the sitting room and overlooking the pretty courtyard. Planning permission was granted in September 2006 for a balcony which has now expired. Mid Devon District Council Planning Ref: 06/02029/FULL.
