South Creake

Tucked away down a private lane, if it is privacy and peacefulness that you are after then this is the perfect cottage for you.

Beautifully proportioned throughout, the ground floor is neatly divided between a good sized kitchen/breakfast room on one side and an equally generous living room on the other. Both rooms face south and as such are naturally light, and the living room has a wonderful electric heater so you can easily picture how cosy this room is when you come in from a blustery winter's walk. The kitchen retains an open fire - where better to thaw out your toes over a steaming cup of tea?

Unusually for a cottage of this age, there is a normal staircase up to the first floor where the generosity of the ground floor space is mirrored by two good sized double bedrooms. The shower room and WC is on the ground floor at the front of the cottage.

Immediately outside there is a gravelled front garden that is ideal for a rosemary bush and for foxgloves to flourish, enjoying both shelter as well as southern light, and then across from the cottage is a very useful outdoor store room. The main garden for the cottage, as is often the case with Victorian village homes, is quirkily offset to the west but is of quite a decent size and backing onto open pasture land. There is also a parking space opposite the house.

This delightful cottage has been a main home for many years, but it is now time for the next chapter. Although it has been thoughtfully maintained throughout, it does require updating. 

SOUTH CREAKE A very popular rural village, South Creake has a pretty village green through which the River Burn runs.

The Ostrich pub has recently undergone a huge refurbishment and now provides not only an intimate village pub but also an outstanding restaurant. There is a homegrown fruit and vegetable stall, a children's play area, tennis courts and fishing lakes.

The village has a vibrant community and the busy village hall is home to many events.

South Creake is about five miles from the village of Burnham Market which is 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. For amenities, Burnham Market Stores is well-stocked and The Post Office, Burnham Motors Garage - for mechanical needs - and the petrol station are all also very useful. 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.

South Creake is perfectly positioned for the beautiful north Norfolk coast.
