House For Sale £450,000
Situated on this quiet back water of this pretty north Norfolk village, this double fronted house is everything you imagine a Victorian cottage to be.
Whilst there is a central front door, this is a house that is naturally entered around the back, into the porch and the galley kitchen with views down the garden. Adjoining it are the two equally proportioned ground floor reception rooms, on one side is the dining room, with ample space for a dining table to seat six or even eight people, and this room also retains its original cast iron Victorian fireplace.
On the other side is the sitting room which, with its log burning stove, is cosiness itself but, with those west facing sash windows, both rooms are flooded with natural light.
Upstairs there are two good-size double bedrooms with ample space for storage, one arranged as a generous twin, the other having exposed floorboards, and both share the ground floor bathroom.
Outside and to the rear there is a patio area immediately off the back of the cottage, and then an extremely pretty lawned garden with a mature border providing privacy offers a delightful summer house positioned at the bottom of the garden, taking maximum advantage of afternoon sunlight.
May Cottage has been an idyllic home from home for the current owners, and they have loved being here and the village community so much that they have decided to make the village their main home.
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.
Fakenham and Wells-next-the-Sea both have primary and secondary schools.
South Creake is perfectly positioned for the beautiful north Norfolk coast.
