Littlebrook Cottage occupies a delightful position on the edge of Bampton, tucked away on a quiet lane with southerly views over the beautiful garden and the rolling hills beyond. The property is a short walk from the centre of Bampton, a charming, historic village with an excellent range of local amenities including some lovely shops and eateries, primary school and doctors surgery. The much larger market town of Tiverton lies 7 miles to the south with extensive local facilities including supermarkets, hospital, leisure centre and golf course. From Tiverton there is easy access to communication links including the A361 North Devon link road, M5 motorway and Tiverton Parkway railway station providing regular services to London Paddington in two hours. The whole area is well 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 45 minute drive.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, farmhouse style kitchen with two roof lights, double oven with induction hob, space for fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble drier and there is a built-in dresser. The light and airy sitting room has a woodburning stove and double doors lead into the conservatory with patio doors to the garden. An inner hall leads to two double bedrooms with built-in storage and a large bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower.
Outside, to the side of the property, there is a detached annexe comprising a sitting/dining area with sliding patio doors to private decking overlooking the garden, a small kitchenette with sink and a shower room with WC leads through to the double bedroom. The large walled garden is a particularly lovely aspect of the property, south facing with a paved patio leading off the conservatory. It is mostly laid to lawn and with mature shrubs, apple trees and well stocked beds and borders. At the end there are two timber garden sheds and a gate that opens on to the babbling brook.
The property is approached by two gates from the lane, the bungalow can barely be seen from Frog Street and therefore provides a most private and tranquil setting.
Parking:- whilst there is no private parking with the bungalow, there is potential for the annexe to be converted to a garage, or removed to provide a driveway (subject to planning). The current owners park on Frog Street, just a little further up on the left.
