A smart and immaculately presented character cottage which, as the name suggests, stands at the end of a terrace and has a distinctive pink gable end wall! Set in a peaceful village location, only a fifteen minute drive away from North Norfolk's glorious coastline, Pink End has been extended to provide deceptively spacious and very comfortable accommodation. Tastefully styled, and with understated decor, the cottage interior is very easy-on-the-eye providing a calm and relaxing environment for guests to enjoy. You have a choice of two sitting areas; a traditionally cosy sitting room, possibly more suited to shorter days and cool nights when you have the option to light the wood burning stove to keep you extra snug, and a light-filled garden room/dining room overlooking a surprisingly spacious private and sunny garden, ideal for when the days are long and nights warm. In between the two rooms is a fully-fitted and very well-equipped kitchen, which has everything you could possibly need for your stay, especially if you enjoy cooking. Off the entrance hall is a shower room/cloakroom. The two attractive and invitingly restful bedrooms (king-size and twin), and second bathroom (en-suite to the king) are found on the first floor. True to the age of the cottage, the stairs are narrow and rather steep, but thankfully without a Norfolk twist, and with a handrail! This pretty cottage is ideal for a couple or small family to enjoy around the year. Located in the village of North Creake, just three miles inland from the ever popular village of Burnham Market and only six miles from Holkham's stunning beach and its Palladian stately home set in a beautiful deer park.
