Pretty Knyvetts dates back to the early Georgian period and the original part of the cottage is bursting with original features. The new owners of the cottage have recently completed an extensive programme of works to refurbish and extend the original cottage to create a luxurious home, sleeping up to six guests in three double bedrooms, which seamlessly combines the charm of a traditional cottage with the benefits of modern living. There is a wonderful open plan kitchen diner, opening out to the patio and enclosed rear garden; three bedrooms and three newly fitted bathrooms, a super cosy sitting room with wood burning stove in the original inglenook and parking to the rear.
All this, superbly located in the popular village of North Creake, boasting a great village pub and just a couple of miles from Burnham Market and within easy striking distance of the sandy beaches at Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea and Brancaster.
This lovely cottage has everything you could need to create wonderful memories of holidays in North Norfolk. The newly fitted kitchen is fully equipped for keen cooks, with a round table seating six for super sociable dining. There are two bedrooms downstairs, one en suite and a wonderful family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower enclosure. To the front of the cottage the original, cosy sitting room has been elegantly preserved, with comfortable sofas and armchairs arranged around the wood burning stove with a wall hung smart TV above.
Up the Norfolk winder stairs, you will find the principal bedroom. This lovely room features exposed beams and has a lovely en suite shower room.
Outside
Stepping out through the bi-fold doors you will find a generous patio, with garden furniture and a large gas BBQ, to make the best of balmy evenings. Up a few steps is a lawned area, leading to the private, off street parking to the rear.

A fantastic place. Lawrie’s house is beautifully done with taste and thought. We felt incredibly lucky to stay here - stunning clean, well appointed kitchen. Incredibly comfy beds. Lovely linens, warm floors, a bottle of wine on arrival. Great bath, garden, lounge. Lawrie was wonderfully responsive and helpful. I highly recommend. Thank you

Lawrie was a great host ! The house is beautiful- finished to a really high quality, furniture, bedding and towels all luxury. The garden is beautiful and had our weather been better we would have made good use of it. The treats on arrival were much appreciated and Lawrie was so helpful prior to our stay. 10/10 would recommend-I have stayed in many Airbnbs over the years and this was up there as the best.
North Creake is a very popular and pretty village, scattered with both full time residents and visitors alike and boasts a lovely village pub, The Jolly Farmers.
The River Burn runs through the village, flowing into Burnham Overy Town and Burnham Overy Staithe and on the edge of the village you will find Creake Abbey which now plays host to an excellent farmer's market the first Saturday of each month, a popular cafe, interesting independent shops and galleries to explore.
Burnham Market lies just 3 miles away and here you will find an array of boutique shops, including Anna, Gun Hill, Aurina, Norfolk Living, Bombay Sprout, Percy Langley and many more. If shopping isn't your thing then you can take a break in The Hoste Arms with a cold drink or lunch at Socius and supper at No.29. There is plenty to keep you occupied!
The property is just a short drive to the beaches at Wells-next-the-Sea, Holkham and Brancaster, but if you want to go further afield Knyvetts is perfectly placed to serve as a base for exploring all the North Norfolk Coast has to offer.
Walking Distance to Pub: 5 mins Driving Distance to Shops & Burnham Market: 5 mins Driving Distance to Beach: 15 mins to either Holkham, Wells-next-the-Sea or Brancaster Driving Distance to Supermarket: 15 mins to Fakenham (there are 4 supermarkets to choose from)
