Primrose Cottage is set in the picturesque small village of
Riddlecombe amongst the rolling hills and peaceful Mid Devon
countryside. This home is well proportioned with good sized rooms
and the warmth and character youd expect from a period cottage.
The entrance leads into a spacious conservatory area with
plumbing for washing machine and dryer then onto the hallway. This
leads to the kitchen, which has been recently re fitted with
stylish light units and plenty of larder cupboard space. There is a
traditional style ceramic sink, oven and induction hob and space
for dishwasher, fridge and freezer. There is a picture window
overlooking the garden letting in plenty of light and room for a
farmhouse table. The lounge is spacious with a traditional stone
open fireplace hosting a multifuel wood burner which is fully
compliant and a bread oven with original door. The 4th bedroom is
downstairs which could also be used as an office and has an ensuite
shower room.
Upstairs via the wide staircase is a lovely open landing area
with plentiful storage leading to 3 double bedrooms and the family
bathroom. Bedroom 3 has an ensuite shower room and views over the
garden and the family bathroom has a white suite with shower over
the bath and further storage.
The current owners have sympathetically updated the property
using traditional materials but adding modern touches. A new oil
external condensing boiler was added in 2022.The rear thatch was
renewed in 2017 and the front thatch and ridge was re done in 2022
giving a long remaining lifespan.
Outside there is a pretty enclosed garden with decking and lawn
areas along with flower and shrub borders. The summer house 18 x 6
can be utilised as extra storage or just enjoyed as a garden room.
There is a log and bin store making sure everything has its place.
The peace and quiet of the garden is one of the many features that
make Primrose Cottage a very special home.
