About this property
Located in the charming village of South Creake, just outside of the popular Georgian village of Burnham Market, Egret is a beautiful property with calm coastal-themed interiors, plus a large enclosed garden, that will defeat even the most determined of canine escape artists. This comfortable and peaceful rural hideaway is only seven miles inland from the coast, meaning trips to the beach are easy!
Egret is a spacious detached house sitting in the middle of the of South Creake, which is well known for its quaint village green and playing field where resident ducks dabble in the River Burn that runs through the village. An '80s house, Egret is particularly light, airy and well-furnished with numerous coastal Norfolk photos - so there's always a reminder that you are not too far from the sea. On the ground floor there is an intimate sitting room that leads through glazed doors into a spacious open-plan, airy and sunny L-shaped dining kitchen featuring a central island and french doors to the garden. In a cosy corner, the vaulted garden room has additional french doors leading to the garden, which features a patio area with seating and a barbecue - perfect for those summer evenings. The kitchen has an adjoining utility room, and off the hallway there is a cloak/ shower room. Up the stairs are four attractive bedrooms, two super king-size zip-and-link beds, and two king-size beds, one of which is zip-and-link, and two further bathrooms, one of which boasts an en-suite.
The village is well-equipped with a popular pub, cake and vegetable stalls selling local produce and a well-stocked garden centre full of plants. The playing field is a spacious area for children to play and be amused for hours. There are grass tennis courts close by too, which can be booked online during the summer months. Situated a short drive away from the upmarket coastal village of Burnham Market, Egret is perfectly positioned for exploring the many delights of both rural and coastal North Norfolk. Ideal for families, couples and friends who want to bring their dogs along too - up to six well-behaved dogs are welcome. The nearby market town of Fakenham offers numerous supermarkets, as well as petrol stations - both hard to come by in rural Norfolk!

A wonderful cottage to stay at, particularly with dogs (or equally without). This was our second visit. It was spotlessly clean. The kitchen has everything you might need to cook and serve food. We really enjoyed the âgarden roomâ area and spent a lot of time there with the french doors open - perfect to enjoy the summer weather. The sitting room is lovely with comfortable sofas and great that it can be shut off for a bit of separation. It was great to have three bathrooms. The bedrooms have comfortable beds. For our dogs, it was great to have a fully enclosed garden with large grassed area, and to be able to enter the garden through the lockable back gate - it is properly dog friendly!

Lovely comfortable and well equipped holiday home. Private and secure garden at the rear, ideal for children and dogs. Excellent location to explore the area. Would recommend Holkham, Brancaster and Sandringham. Would definitely stay here again.
