Introduction

Fen Willows is a beautiful 4 bedroom property nestled down an idyllic country lane in the quintessential village of South Creake. Set in a secluded spot, you will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From the moment you step over the threshold you will feel a calming wave come over you and you’ll immediately relax into the surroundings where you can take in the breath-taking vista of the Norfolk countryside. The peaceful, manicured garden completely envelops the property like a warm hug! Perfect for friends, family and pampered pooches looking for a laid-back luxury retreat in North Norfolk!

Inside

Fen Willows has been styled with an elegant yet relaxed countryside feel. The kind of place that makes you want to kick off your shoes, let the warm summer breeze roll in through the open doors, doze in the secluded garden with a chilled glass of fizz and then hunker down in front of the log burner as the sun sets through the lounge’s open plan picture window. With a stunning view to the rear of the house, you really do feel you’ve escaped to the Country.

Outside

At the front of the property there is a spacious, manicured lawn with established trees, hedging and vibrant lavenders. There is ample off-road parking available on the sweeping gravel drive.

The extensive garden completely envelops the property with spacious lawns and established planting. The inner area is fully enclosed with a post and rail fence lined with conifers and is ideal for allowing the dogs and children to safely play while the adults take a moment to sit back and relax. The paved courtyard area has a large dining set seating up to 8 guests, a banana parasol and gas BBQ, perfect for al fresco dining. There is also 2 loungers for relaxing on and a croquet set for some family entertainment. There is also an electric car charger available at the property which is pay-as-you-use.

Staying at
Fen Willows

Quick guide to your location

Situated between Fakenham and Burnham Market you’ll find the pretty village of South Creake. This beautiful village is well worth visiting for the superb parish church of St Marys, and Bloodgate Hill Hillfort, an Iron Age fortification that is the largest hill-fort in Norfolk. From here you are in easy reach of all the hotspots of Wells-Next-the-Sea all the way over to Hunstanton. A perfect for exploring the North Norfolk coastline.
