Primrose Fields, Appledore - A coastal life, beautifully simplified.

Ivy House — Plot 8

Ivy House is a superb family home with future-proofed, flexible living space, a huge kitchen/family/dining area running across the width of the house, multiple reception rooms, a galleried landing and practical storage. This is ideal for buyers who are not really downsizing, but “right-sizing”. A proper house with space, storage and flexibility.

Perfect for those who want to simplify life without shrinking it. The wide kitchen/family/dining space gives the home a natural social centre, while the separate living room and additional magic room make the layout wonderfully adaptable. Use the magic room as a study, snug, hobby space, reading room or occasional guest space. Add in four bedrooms, a housekeeper’s corner, considered storage and efficient modern heating, and Ivy House becomes a compelling alternative to an older, higher-maintenance family home.

Outside: Good-sized garden, a double garage and two/four off-road parking spaces with electric car charging. (No. of spaces dependent on plot)


There are places people move to because they need a house. And then there are places people move to because they are ready for a different kind of life.

Primrose Fields is the latter.

Set on the edge of Appledore, one of North Devon’s most loved coastal villages, this exclusive collection of just 27 bunnyhomes brings together the romance of the coast, the charm of a historic village, and the ease of a beautifully crafted, energy-efficient new home. Less than a mile from door to shore, Primrose Fields places you close to the water, the quay, the beaches, the cafés, the restaurants, the coastal paths and the everyday rhythm of life that makes this part of North Devon so special.

Appledore has always had soul. Its pastel cottages, winding streets, boat-building heritage, waterside views and working quay give it a character that cannot be manufactured. From here, days can begin with a walk by the estuary, a coffee in the village, a ferry trip to Instow, time on the beach, lunch with a view, or a walk along the South West Coast Path. Westward Ho!, Instow, Northam Burrows, Bideford and the wider North Devon coast are all within easy reach, giving buyers not just a home, but a completely different pace of life.

Yet the real beauty of Primrose Fields is that it offers this lifestyle without the usual compromises.

For many buyers relocating to North Devon, the dream is not necessarily to downsize dramatically. It is to simplify. To move away from older, higher-maintenance homes. To reduce running costs. To remove the burden of constant upkeep. To enjoy space, quality, comfort and character without taking on a project.

That is where bunnyhomes stands apart.

The homes at Primrose Fields are from bunnyhomes Georgian-inspired Craft Collection — a range designed with elegance, symmetry, proportion and detail at its heart. bunnyhomes describe their Craft Collection as Georgian-inspired homes “beautifully fused with modern day living”, with layouts tested and refined for flow, ergonomics, daylight, ventilation and liveability. That matters for buyers who are not just looking for a new address, but a home that feels calm, practical and uplifting from the moment they step inside.

These are homes with proper kerb appeal: handsome elevations, thoughtful street scenes, generous windows, higher ceilings, beautifully planned interiors and the kind of practical touches that make everyday living feel easier. There is quality in the construction too, from hand-picked bricks chosen for tone, texture and patina, to rough cast render, regional stone features, locally handcrafted porches and canopies, A-rated larger windows, solid-core internal doors with American white oak veneer, and a floor-joist approach designed to reduce deflection and squeaks. The result is a home that feels properly crafted, not just newly built.

The specification is also a major part of the Bunny difference. Their “super-spec as standard” includes trend-led kitchens, Villeroy & Boch ceramicware, monsoon-style showers, generous windows, extra-large patios and bespoke artisan porches, canopies and trelliswork. Kitchens are designed as the heart of the home and are made to work as well as they look, with built-in pantries or dynamic larders, plenty of cupboards, drawers and sockets, contemporary cabinetry, Smeg appliances and British-made cabinetry. It gives buyers the feeling of a home that has already been upgraded, rather than one where the best bits are hidden behind an extras list.

The bathrooms continue that sense of everyday luxury, with hotel-style detailing, Villeroy & Boch sanitaryware, recessed showers with overhead monsoon and hand-held spray heads, wall-mounted rimless toilets in many homes, heat-retaining steel baths with hidden bath fillers, and large-format Porcelanosa tiling. These are the details that make a new home feel polished, finished and special — particularly for lifestyle movers who may be leaving behind older properties where bathrooms, kitchens and heating systems are often the first big expense.

Just as importantly, bunnyhomes have thought about comfort, technology and efficiency. Craft Collection homes include Cat-6 cabling to the rooms where it is needed, app or touchpad-controlled smart heating, USB-C ports, carefully positioned sockets, air source heat pumps and sleek plug-and-charge EV chargers. Downstairs underfloor heating adds comfort while also removing radiators, creating cleaner lines and more usable wall space. For buyers looking to reduce maintenance, improve energy efficiency and future-proof their move, this is a powerful part of the Primrose Fields story.

Storage has also been carefully considered, with practical features such as built-in cupboards, pantries, dynamic larders, linen stores and understairs pull-out drawers in many homes. Many designs also include a flexible “magic room” — an extra space that can become a home office, snug, hobby room, gym, library or whatever this next chapter of life needs them to be. These are not homes designed simply to look good on completion day; they have been planned around how people actually live.

And then there is Winston’s World — one of bunnyhomes' most distinctive and marketable differences.

Rather than leaving buyers to wrestle with trades, measuring, ordering, coordinating, upgrading and second-guessing their choices, Winston’s World gives them a more enjoyable way to personalise their new home. Depending on build stage, buyers can explore curated interior bundles, mini-bundles and pick-and-mix options, from kitchens and bathrooms to flooring and standalone extras. It turns specification choices into an experience — one that feels personal, guided and exciting, but still simple. For a relocating buyer who wants a fresh start without the stress, this is a powerful message: your new coastal home can feel like yours from the day you move in.

Primrose Fields is therefore ideal for buyers who want more than a standard new build. It is for those who value good design, craftsmanship, efficiency and detail. It is for people who want the freedom of a low-maintenance home, but still want space for guests, grandchildren, hobbies, working from home and entertaining. It is for buyers who are ready to leave behind draughty rooms, expensive heating bills, endless repairs and dated layouts, and replace them with warmth, light, storage, smart technology and a home designed for how people actually live now.

At Primrose Fields, the promise is simple: a beautiful new home in a remarkable coastal village, surrounded by coastline, character and adventure.
