Set in the heart of North Creake, this chain-free end-of-terrace flint cottage delivers traditional Norfolk character in a compact, comfortable package. The ground floor centres on a cosy sitting room with exposed beams, pamment tiles and a log burner, while the kitchen/breakfast room has room for a table that seats six — ideal for family meals or holiday guests. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bunk room served by a single shower room.
Outside, the very small rear garden is lawned and sheltered, with a summer house at the end — a pleasant, low-maintenance space rather than a large plot. The cottage has double glazing installed after 2002 and oil-fired central heating via a boiler and radiators; mains water, electricity and drainage are connected. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note the property is constructed of traditional solid brick/flint walls (pre-1900) and likely lacks wall insulation, so thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The Energy Performance Certificate is an E. The house has successfully operated as a holiday let in the past and is currently un-banded for council tax because of that use. The location — a short walk to the village pub, near Burnham Market and the coast — supports both family living and holiday rental potential.
This is a compact, characterful cottage for buyers seeking village life and period features rather than large living spaces or a big garden. It will particularly suit a family wanting a village base, a purchaser seeking a holiday-cottage investment with local rental history, or someone prepared to carry out modest energy-efficiency improvements.
