Having been in the same family for more than twenty years, this delightful cottage has been both a much-loved home-from-home, as well as a popular and successful holiday let.

Step through the front door and you enter a double height atrium which is incredibly welcoming, and not at all the kind of space you expect with a period cottage.

Beyond this you are through into the principal room of Cherry Tree and it is quite a room. With the painted wooden beams over and the log burner set into a Georgian fireplace it very much has a sense of age, yet look at the open plan kitchen with its stylish colour and butcher's block island and it really is a room for families to gather and enjoy holiday time in each other's company.

Passed this and there is a utility room and store or pantry, and then head through into the adjoining garage. This is the space which has obvious potential as there is already a downstairs WC, so plumbing for an en-suite shower room would be very simple to create for your ground floor bedroom suite - which could also double as a TV room or snug.

The atrium boasts a splendid staircase, providing a refined ascent to the upper level where three bedrooms await. The staircase leads to a landing and offers a distinguished alternative to the popular Norfolk Winder style.

Among these three delightful bedrooms, double rooms and one cosy single room await. The principal bedroom has its own unique charm with built-in wardrobes. Each bedroom has shared access to the elegant family bathroom, with over-the-bath shower.

Outside there is a small tiered morning garden to the rear, ideal for a place to start you day in the morning sunshine, catching up on the news over a coffee while the rest of the family sleeps in.

To the front the outside space is gravelled for ample off-street parking and, as it is completely west-facing, it is also a sun trap and the perfect place to watch the sun set over the farmland with a gin and tonic.

Cherry Tree Cottage has been much-loved by the current sellers and for somebody who wants a 'turn key' property, yet with obvious potential to create more space and as such add value, then this is the perfect home; located too just a short drive from Burnham Market and the beautiful North Norfolk coast. 

NORTH CREAKE An attractive village, North Creake is about 3 miles south of Burnham Market towards the market town of Fakenham.

The village lies on the River Burn and has a church, St Mary's, The Jolly Farmers pub, and a village hall which offers a post office service twice a week and is home to the Amateur Dramatic Society, Creakes Gardeners Club and the Cinema of the Creakes, playing current films to the public. About a mile to the north, Creake Abbey hosts an award winning farmers' market, along with shops, studios and the ruins of an Augustinian abbey founded in 1206.

North Creake is perfectly positioned for the coast with its long sandy beaches, walks and wildlife.

Nearby Burnham Market has much to offer too, perhaps a day at the world famous horse trials or a well-earned afternoon spent browsing its pretty boutiques. For a little culture, peruse Burnham Market's art galleries – the Fairfax Gallery has been exhibiting for more than 20 years and Pococks the Artmonger has an eclectic display. Or if you have little ones in tow, don't miss a trip to Mable's – unmissable with its pretty pink frontage – where you can encourage their artistic talent with a pot painting session or treat them to a bag of traditional sweets. Sample tasty treats at the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli or Gurneys Fish Shop – this is a place to savour the finer things.

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.
