SITUATION

South Creake is situated almost equidistant between the market town of Fakenham to the south and Burnham Market to the north. Centred around the village green with the River Burn running through, the village is made up of picturesque brick and flint cottages with larger period farmhouses mixed in with more contemporary properties, converted chapels and barn developments.

In February 2015, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh opened the new Memorial Pavilion - a community space for village activities in the surrounding areas. The Ostrich pub opposite has recently relaunched as a place to eat, drink and stay. South Creake also benefits from tennis courts, bowling green, children's' area, a beautiful church and wayside stalls selling local produce as well as a yearly classical music festival.

The popular village of Burnham Market is just 4.5 miles away, widely regarded as one of the finest in Norfolk. The attractive Georgian village is centred around the green with an eclectic range of independent gift and clothing boutiques and shops including a fish shop, butcher, delicatessen, wine merchant and post office to name a few.

The village benefits from doctor and dentist surgeries, a primary school, tennis courts, garage, a fine parish church. With the Hoste Arms and other well-established hotels, restaurants and coffee shops sitting comfortably alongside exciting new venues such as Socius and Number 29 .

The popular coastal villages of Brancaster and Thornham offering sailing clubs, the Royal West Norfolk Golf Club and RSPB Reserve. To the east is Wells-next-the-Sea, and further along the coast, Blakeney and Cley, this is a wonderful part of the world to call home.



DESCRIPTION

Sherbet Cottage is a pretty brick and flint end of terrace cottage, situated on a quiet back street in the popular village of South Creake. The cottage entrance is down a hollyhock filled gravel pathway that leads past other properties to the secret garden with a stream from the river Burn running through it.
Entrance to Sherbet cottage is through a stable door, which leads into a well-proportioned kitchen with dual aspect windows with plantation shutters and wooden flooring. The kitchen is fitted with cream shaker stye units with Corian worktops and a Belfast sink. There is an integrated Smeg dishwasher, Beko electric oven with extractor, and space for a tall fridge freezer. There are two large storage cupboards in the kitchen and one of these has plumbing for a washing machine. The room allows plenty of space for a dining table and chairs.
Heading right from the front door leads you into the sitting room, which again has plantation shuttered windows. This room is spacious and enjoys the benefits of a log burning stove, making it the perfect spot to relax after a long beach walk.
A painted staircase from the sitting room takes you upstairs to two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with space for king-sized beds. They benefit from good ceiling heights, and additional cupboard space. The second bedroom houses a storage cupboard and hot water system.
The bathroom is fitted with white sanitary ware and has been decorated with painted tongue and groove. It has both a bath and separate shower.

OUTSIDE

The secret garden is found at the end of the shared pathway. With a solid gate it is fully enclosed by fencing and a wall. Pretty herbaceous borders are planted with shrubs, lavender, and herbs. The patio area benefits from the evening sun and overlooks the stream which is a tributary of the river Burn. There is a covered area, ideal for log storage, bins, and garden equipment.
