North Creake

Lavender Cottage is an exceptionally pretty mid terrace cottage, full of period charm and a perfect holiday bolt hole.

Whilst there is a front door this delightful cottage is naturally entered from the back through the elegant and attractive wood framed rear extension. The sun room provides an ideal space for a dining area as it is directly adjacent to the stylish and modern kitchen.

Beyond this is the sitting room which, with its log burner, is a room which perfectly encapsulates the very essence of a cosy cottage. Little imagination is required to picture how wonderful it would be to be to come in from a blustery winter walk on Brancaster beach and then snuggle up in front of a glowing fire on a cold winter's night.

A 'Norfolk winder' leads you up to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms. The smaller is to the rear whilst the larger also retains its original fire place and - unusually for a cottage such as this - there is also an upstairs shower room which both bedrooms share.

Outside and to the rear is a pretty landscaped garden which meanders down to a patio area, at the rear, where the current vendors had always considered placing a garden room as this is the spot where you can perfectly capture the late afternoon and evening sunshine.

Lavender Cottage has been a very successful holiday let, being within easy reach of both the coast and Burnham Market, but away from the hustle and bustle making it ideal for a quiet break or a romantic getaway. It could easily continue as such or could make an idyllic home-from-home, easy to look after and perfectly located, this really is a classic Norfolk hideaway. 

NORTH CREAKE An attractive village, North Creake is about 3 miles south of Burnham Market towards the market town of Fakenham.

The village lies on the River Burn and has a church, St Mary's, The Jolly Farmers pub, and a village hall which offers a post office service twice a week and is home to the Amateur Dramatic Society, Creakes Gardeners Club and the Cinema of the Creakes, playing current films to the public.

Creake Abbey is about 1 mile north of the village and hosts an award winning farmers' market, along with shops, studios and the ruins of an Augustinian abbey founded in 1206.

North Creake is perfectly positioned for the coast with its long sandy beaches, walks and wildlife.

Treasured memories of family holidays, a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques - there are plenty of ways to experience Burnham Market, the jewel in north Norfolk's glittering crown.

Located close to the mouth of the River Burn, believed to be the source of its name, the village has long been associated with naval hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who lived at nearby Burnham Thorpe.

A refined elegance permeates every aspect of village life, from the traditional homewares found at Uttings, the locals 'go-to' for household essentials, to sampling tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli or Gurneys Fish Shop - this is a place to savour the finer things. Eating out is also a joy with award winning Socius serving a British-inspired tapas menu on the edge of Foundry Place, and NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant and courtyard provides a relaxed spot to wine and dine on warm summer's nights.
Fashion counts on the Champagne coast and for chic style head to Anna's boutique or 'next gen' department store Percy Langley, make it fancy at The Hat Shop, go country at Gun Hill Clothing Company or casual at Joules or Jack Wills. For a little culture, peruse Burnham Market's art galleries - the Fairfax Gallery has been exhibiting for more than 20 years and Pococks the Artmonger has an eclectic display. Or if you have little ones in tow, don't miss a trip to Mable's - unmissable with its pretty pink frontage - where you can encourage their artistic talent with a pot painting session or treat them to a bag of traditional sweets.
