2 Bedroom Detached House

Situated in the attractive village of Loxhore, Primrose Cottage was formerly a workers’ cottage for the nearby Arlington Estate which has been thoughtfully upgraded to create a warm, inviting home.

Stepping through the characterful stable door, you enter the country-style kitchen, complete with solid wood butcher’s block worktops, space for a cooker and dishwasher, and dual-aspect windows overlooking the gardens and side elevation. This creates a bright, welcoming space, with room for a breakfast table.

The lounge is an impressive, atmospheric space, featuring a high vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and an abundance of period charm. The wood-burning stove forms a striking focal point. A side window, external door and additional Velux windows allow natural light to pour in.

A wooden staircase rises to the first-floor bedroom, which also enjoys a vaulted ceiling and comfortably accommodates a double bed. The apex window frames delightful views across the garden and surrounding countryside.

From the kitchen, there is a utility area, offering valuable additional storage as well as space for a washing machine and fridge freezer. The bathroom has been refitted to an excellent standard and features a freestanding bath, spacious shower cubicle, period-style pedestal basin and WC. A rear-facing window provides attractive views from the bath.

The main bedroom is a relatively recent addition to the property and offers a sizeable, restful room with ample built-in wardrobes and lovely outlooks over the garden and beyond.

Outside, the property benefits from plentiful off-road parking, a large single garage and several useful sheds, ideal for storage, hobbies or gardening.

The flourishing gardens are a standout feature of this home. Running down to the stream, they culminate at the point where the water is crossed by a stone humpback bridge, creating a truly idyllic rural scene. The gardens include colourful flower beds, productive vegetable beds, an orchard supplying a variety of fruit, and a firepit surrounded by tree-stump seating beside the river

a magical spot to enjoy a quiet evening. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pleasant patio area, perfectly suited to al fresco dining.
From our office in Barnstaple proceed out to the Territorial Army Base roundabout and turn left onto Alexandra Road towards the traffic lights. Turn right onto Bear Street and proceed up leading on to Goodleigh Road and out of Barnstaple. Continue through Snapper, pass the viaduct and turn left signposted Loxhore. Drive past Blackpool Bridge and into Loxhore Cott, you will then see on the bend right in front of you, 2 pillars with storks. Turn left just before parking on this road, before walking down the hill, turning right where the property will be found on the left hand side.
