High Street, Bampton, Tiverton, EX16

A unique detached split level bungalow with double garage, attractive gardens and views, enjoying a peaceful position on the edge of Bampton, just a short walk to amenities.

Upside is situated in a wonderfully peaceful location, tucked away in the heart of Bampton, just a short, level walk from the town’s excellent amenities. This thriving country town offers a range of local facilities including a doctor’s surgery, primary school, independent shops, cafés, and traditional pubs. The larger market town of Tiverton lies approximately 7 miles to the south, providing a more extensive range of services along with fast access to the M5 motorway and national rail connections via Tiverton Parkway — reaching London Paddington in just 2 hours. To the north, the stunning Exmoor National Park is only 6 miles away, offering outstanding natural beauty and excellent walking and outdoor pursuits.

This delightful split-level bungalow, built in 1990, offers over 2100 sq ft of well-arranged accommodation and storage. The main living areas are situated on the upper level, while the ground floor comprises a garage, large utility room, and store rooms — creating a highly practical layout. The property is set within a beautifully maintained, generously sized garden, with ample parking. Solar panels on the roof contribute to the home’s energy efficiency.

The first floor accommodation, which can be accessed by a gentle slope or internal and external stairs, comprises a double aspect sitting room featuring a woodburning stove and a bay window with window seat, offering lovely views over Bampton and the hills beyond. To the back of the sitting room, an archway leads through to a study area which could easily be made into a third bedroom. Double doors open into the dining room, which benefits from sliding patio doors to a balcony with electric canopy— perfect for enjoying the outlook. The kitchen is fitted with cream units and includes a ceramic sink and an electric Aga with an induction hob. Off the main hallway are two double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, and a generously sized shower room fitted with a walk-in shower, vanity unit with basin, WC, and a heated towel rail/radiator.

On the ground floor, there is a large utility room with fitted cupboards, a stainless steel sink, and space for a washing machine and dryer. A door leads to a walk-in pantry, beyond which lies a useful store room. The inner hallway provides access to a cloakroom and the integral double garage, which has two bays and electric up-and-over doors. In addition, there are two further store rooms offering excellent storage space.

The garden is a particular highlight of the property — beautifully maintained and predominantly laid to lawn, with well-stocked flower and herbaceous borders. A variety of mature trees and shrubs provide year-round interest, including a striking Oak tree and a Copper Beech in the front garden. To the front of the property, a driveway offers ample parking and leads up to the double garage. From here, steps rise up one side of the property to the front door, or a slope at the other side of the property gives access to the back door. There is further access available at ground floor level via the garage.
