Summary - HIGHER PRIMROSE COTTAGE, CASTLE STREET EX19 8HU
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful two-bed near shops, pubs and Dartmoor views — ideal starter home.
Character cottage with exposed stone and rustic beams
Higher Primrose Cottage is a compact, characterful two-bedroom home tucked just off Winkleigh’s main square. Exposed stone, rustic beams and a recently commissioned woodburning stove give the sitting room a cosy, authentic feel, while a galleried landing and vaulted kitchen ceiling add light and charm. An outbuilding with water and electricity increases usable space and supports running a washer or small home business.
The location is a genuine strength — two pubs, a post office, shops, cafés and the primary school are all within a minute’s walk, with Dartmoor views and countryside walks a short drive away. Gated off-street parking is rare for the village and useful for owners or holiday guests; the property is already noted as having Airbnb income potential.
Practical points to note: the house is small at around 519 sq ft and best suited to singles, couples or buyers seeking a compact village base. Heating runs on bottled LPG (plus the woodburner) and the EPC is rated E, so energy costs and improvements should be considered. The cottage sits in a conservation area — attractive for character but possibly limiting for significant external alterations.
Overall this is a charming, low-maintenance-feel village home with immediate lifestyle appeal and modest rental potential, but buyers should budget for energy running costs and be realistic about the compact living space.
