High on buyers wish lists for properties here in Mid Devon are

Being a rural community its hard to tick all the boxes but Primrose
Cottage manages to do so. Located in Newton St Cyres, between
Crediton and Exeter, its ideally located for access to both the
town and city with regular bus services every 20 mins during the
day in both directions, plus a short walk away is the railway
station giving options. You can even walk to the incredible local
pub The Beer Engine! Its a Grade II listed cottage so its
definitely got plenty of character throughout with exposed beams
and a fantastic fireplace with wood burner. Being adjacent to the
A377, its easy for road access without needing to drive on narrow
lanes, which is also a bonus. Another notable addition is mains gas
central heating too Boiler replaced 2023 , which not all local
villages are fortunate enough to have access to. The thatch was
overhauled in 2017 so theres plenty of life left in that.
Internally the layout offers a spacious living dining room with
the wood burner being a lovely touch. Theres a useful entrance
vestibule to give a buffer to the front door ideal for heat
savings! and a WC too which again is rare for an older cottage. At
the rear, the kitchen is well fitted with solid wood surfaces and a
stable door opens onto the rear garden. On the first floor the
landing has built in storage and access to the main shower room and
then the two bedrooms, both doubles can be found at either end. The
exposed floorboards and beams remind you of the history in this
lovely home.

double gates giving privacy and options. Theres room to park a car
or it can be used as garden area. In addition, there are useful
stores adjoining the house room for outdoor equipment even

NEWTON ST CYRES, between Exeter and Crediton is
widely regarded as one of Devon‘s finest villages, with a gentle
stream running through the middle under its ancient stone bridge,
alongside the wonderful 15thCentury church built in honour of the
martyr St Cyres, there are few places which match this tranquil
setting. Numerous circular walks of 1.25 to 7.2 miles are on hand
and a visit to the beautiful 9 acre arboretum is a must. The new
primary school is a fantastic addition & no village is complete
without a pub and Newton St Cyres does not disappoint with the
atmospheric Beer Engine, a popular watering hole on the Rail Ale
Trail, a tour of pubs near stations along the Tarka Line railway
between Exeter and Barnstaple. The recently opened Belluno Italian
Restaurant is also one to visit and cheese lovers can indulge
themselves at Quickes Farm shop, based half a mile west along the
A377, the main road to North Devon. These outstanding features are
supplemented by that iconic symbol of the English village, the
cricket pitch. The crack of leather on willow fills the air when
the village team play in the summer months. Footballers dont miss
out either there are two well maintained pitches, home to Newton St
Cyres FC.
