This traditional cottage in a rural Norfolk village looks out onto a historic parish church and is close to the ancient abbey ruins of Creake. Spend your family holiday exploring the vast sandy beaches, wild nature reserves and charming market towns of the Norfolk Coast National Landscape. In the evenings you can return to this characterful property with wooden beamed ceilings, a cosy lounge boasting an open fire, and a garden.
Step inside and find yourself in the charming and compact kitchen with a wooden beamed ceiling, red tiled flooring and a blue fitted kitchen with a breakfast bar for two. Continue into the cosy lounge with neutral tones, a splash of red plus wooden and leather furnishings throughout. A leather sofa and armchair surround the exposed brick fireplace with an open fire. Also on the ground floor is a family bathroom. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach two bedrooms – a double and a twin room with wrought iron beds and a low doorway. Outside you’ll find a small, gravelled area with furniture.
Get familiar with your surroundings with a stroll around South Creake village which contains a garden centre, church and the Bloodgate Hill Iron Age Fort (all within 0.5 miles). Head north for a meal out at the local pub in North Creake (1.5 miles) and to explore the dramatic Creake Abbey ruins, which date back to the 13th century. Just 2.5 miles away is the Norfolk Coast National Landscape where you can wander along the coast path or relax on the vast sandy beaches, such as Holkham Beach (8 miles). Browse the pop-up stalls at Burnham Market (4 miles) and spend a day at the 25,000-acre Holkham Estate (8 miles) – home to a deer park, boating lake, nature reserve, woodland and stately home.
