Primrose Cottage is a charming two-bedroom detached period home set in the heart of Swimbridge, offered chain-free. The property sits on a very large, elevated plot — around a third of an acre — with far-reaching views across the village and rolling Devon hills. Mature planting and an overgrown but once-productive garden provide scope for landscaping or kitchen-garden revival.
The cottage retains character features including a bright, spacious living room with an ornamental fireplace and a practical layout that includes a utility room plus separate bathroom and shower room. The kitchen has modern-style cupboards and useful storage, while two first-floor bedrooms both enjoy the countryside outlook. Off-street parking or a small patio is available at the front.
Important practical points: the house needs updating throughout and has electric storage heating. The property’s granite/stone walls are assumed to lack insulation and glazing installation dates are unknown, so buyers should factor potential improvement costs for energy efficiency. There is a medium flooding risk for the area. Close village amenities, a well-regarded primary school, and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity make this suitable for families or buyers seeking a rural base with renovation potential.
