2 bedroom end of terrace house for sale

NUMBER ONE
Number One is at the southern end of the building and not only features the builder's date stamp on the gable end, but also retains the original hand pump; it's easy to imagine schoolchildren refreshing themselves under it after a breathless break-time in the summer sunshine.

Step through what was the original main school entrance where many a hat and coat were once hung up and into the wonderful open-plan living space. At the far end is the kitchen with a useful island which is perfect for both food prep or as a breakfast bar; where better for a morning catch-up over coffee or for your guests
to lean on whilst enjoying a G&T as you prepare supper?

In the centre of the room is a dining area and then the remainder is given over to a seating area which naturally focuses on the fireplace, originally bricked over but now in use after its discovery during the refurbishment.

Upstairs there are two large double bedroom suites, both with stylish and sumptuous showers and whilst the bedroom to the front is the slightly larger of the two, the bedroom to the rear also has a delightful dressing room. 

THE OLD SCHOOL
Dating back to 1883, The Old School has been a central and functional feature of the village for well over a century.

For most of The Old School's history it provided for the education of the children of North Creake and then when the school closed in 1962 it offered space for various ventures, including an art gallery. Having fallen into disrepair in recent years it was saved by the current owners, McNamara Country Homes.

With more than 50 years of experience in North Norfolk, the McNamara name has become synonymous with the sympathetic conversion and refurbishment of unloved and unused rural properties which have often been left to nature.

With no loss to the historic relevance of this Victorian school, they have now created three beautiful and individual homes which amplify the core character and past of the this building's purpose, whilst at the same time seamlessly combining contemporary interiors to perfectly complement such a special property.

All three properties have two generous double bedroom suites, and unique and different ground floor footprints. They all feature elegant limed oak paraquet flooring as well as tasteful kitchen designs.

LOCATION
A charming village, located on the River Burn, North Creake boasts a North Norfolk lifestyle to fall in love with.

Situated about three miles south of Burnham Market, and on the route to the market town of Fakenham, there are places to enjoy in this quaint village: from the St Mary's Church, to The Jolly Farmers pub, and a village hall which hosts a post office service twice a week and is home to the local Amateur Dramatic Society.

Just a mile north lies Creake Abbey, a vibrant cultural hub with an award-winning farmers' market, various shops and studios, and the historic ruins of an Augustinian abbey founded in 1206.

North Creake offers an ideal lifestyle for those who appreciate the tranquillity of rural living whilst still being close to the coast. The nearby coastline is renowned for its long sandy beaches, scenic walks, and abundant wildlife, making it a perfect retreat for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Burnham Market, just a short drive away, is another gem in North Norfolk. Known for its world-famous horse trials, it also offers a delightful array of boutique shops and art galleries. The Fairfax Gallery, a staple in the community for more than 20 years, and Pococks the Artmonger, with its eclectic collection, are must-visit spots for art aficionados.

Families will enjoy a visit to Mable's, easily recognizable by its charming pink exterior, where children can engage in creative pot painting sessions or indulge in traditional sweets.

Culinary delights abound in Burnham Market, with the Tuscan Farm Shop, Humble Pie Deli, and Gurneys Fish Shop offering a range of local delicacies. For dining out, Socius serves an innovative British-inspired tapas menu at Foundry Place, while NoTwenty9's bar, restaurant, and courtyard provide a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying a meal on warm summer evenings.

Head north of Burnham Market and, with its natural tidal harbour, Burnham Overy Staithe offers good walks across the marshes and long sandy beaches.

When you're looking for somewhere new to call home, North Norfolk - with its picturesque villages, vibrant cultural scenes, and proximity to the stunning coastline - offers a unique and enriching lifestyle for its residents.
