Bampton, Tiverton, Devon, EX16

A highly attractive and intriguing country house together with a two bedroom studio set within well stocked and timbered gardens within the Exe Valley.

Greenstreet Cottage is believed to date back to the 1920s and it is thought to have originally been part of Riphay Farm at Exe Bridge. In more recent years the house has obviously been extended, an extension to the front added and there is also a south facing garden room. The accommodation is particularly light, spacious and has been restored and decorated with a contemporary eye. Two reception rooms stretch across the front of the house, the drawing room with fireplace with a Woodwarm wood burning stove and a sitting room/study with well designed cupboards and bookshelves. The kitchen/breakfast room is particularly light, a kitchen area with four oven AGA, a range of floor mounted cupboards incorporating a deep china sink and a breakfast area with French doors out onto the south facing terrace. The principal bedroom has double aspect, fitted hanging space, shelves and a door leading into a well fitted en suite bathroom with shower, wc, Burlington double wash basins and a panelled bath. There is also a heated towel rail. There are three further double bedrooms one with built in cupboards and two attractively refitted bathrooms with showers and having electric underfloor heating.

Gardens, Grounds and Outbuildings
The property sits proudly at the end of a short drive which opens out to provide ample gravelled parking. A spur off the drive leads up to the detached double timber built garage and additional parking. A raised bed with topiary and a weeping pear and a small terrace leads into the studio accommodation, a former artist studio, which includes a fabulous open reception room with high vaulted ceiling with original exposed roof timbers, kitchen area and a step ladder leading up to a first floor storage area. There are two similar size bedrooms with built in cupboards and en suite bathrooms, one with shower, the other with bath with overhead shower. There is a terrace at the front of the property enjoying all available sunshine facing due south edged in mixed flower beds which adjoin the lawned gardens, which wrap around the property and interspersed and shaded with a number of mature trees including copper beech, willow, mulberry, bean tree, oaks and silver birch. A timber built garden studio/home office occupies a secluded setting and has decking to the front overlooking the pond. There is a traditional greenhouse, herb beds and kitchen garden with a series of raised beds and at the end stands a shepherds hut (which could be included by negotiation). There is also a range of useful garden buildings. An area of garden has been landscaped to provide a level site ideal for a marquee.

The gardens and grounds amount to approximately 0.86 acres (0.349 hectares).
