5 Fakenham Road is a traditional brick and flint cottage situated in the popular village of South Creake. The cottage was originally renovated in 1978 and many of the retro design finishes remain today. The owners have gone to some effort to retain the 1970’s feel whilst ensuring that the property is comfortable for guests in the new millennium. There is even an avocado en suite & working wood fired Rayburn. The cottage is ideally situated in the middle of the village just a few doors from the popular Ostrich Pub and across the road from the tennis courts, playing field & children’s playground. There is a great vegetable stand selling produce from the local allotments, the creeke running through the village and lots of ducks.

Local Area
South Creake is a lovely village just a couple of miles from Burnham Market. There is a lovely village green ![\"South](\"images/South-Creake-127.jpg\" "\\"South")
in the centre with a playpark for children and tennis courts. The Ostrich pub serves good food overlooking the green and a recently opened tea room. Sir John Betjeman loved the church here. The village is home to The Yorke Trust, founded in 1985 to promote the arts and particularly music among young people. A more recent developement, The North Norfolk Music Festival, presents concerts by international musicians in the church.
