Horseshoe Cottage at Staple Fitzpaine Horseshoe Cottage at Mill Farm in Staple Fitzpaine was originally a stone built cow shed or grain store, associated with the now defunct Staple Mill.

Therefore, Primrose Cottage no longer exists as an address, despite it still appearing on some maps and databases.
