Nestled in the heart of the village, Old Pantiles is a truly historic gem, believed to be one of the oldest properties in North Creake.

With a rich and varied past, this charming cottage once served as a car repair garage but more recently has been a sanctuary for its residents, having been thoughtfully adapted and enhanced over the years. Its current owners of 25 years have added a stylish utility room and a convenient ground floor shower room.

This detached residence boasts an abundance of living space, perfectly blending period charm with modern comfort. At the heart of the home lies the inviting sitting room, which seamlessly divides into three distinct areas. To the front, a cosy seating nook with an open fireplace is an idyllic retreat for winter evenings. Sliding full height doors reveal a TV room, offering a relaxed space for entertainment, while a step down leads to a striking glass bayed seating area with bucolic views down the beautifully landscaped garden. In addition, when extra accommodation is needed, this room has often been used as a third bedroom by closing off those double doors.

To one side of the sitting room is the ground floor bedroom, currently arranged to accommodate visiting grandchildren, while on the other side, the generous entrance hall doubles as a formal dining room. Featuring a classic Norfolk pamment tiled floor and another charming open fireplace, this space is ideal for hosting memorable dinners with family and friends. Steps lead down to the large kitchen and breakfast room, providing ample space for casual dining and culinary creativity. Beyond, the newly added utility and shower rooms enhance both convenience and practicality.

The enchanting rear garden is a true haven, with its west facing orientation ensuring sunlight throughout the day. Open to the south, it captures the summer warmth and gently slopes down to the picturesque River Burn. A charming footbridge crosses this bubbling waterway, leading to uninterrupted views of the rolling countryside beyond.

For the current owners, Old Pantiles has been a tranquil retreat, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. They have cherished its easy access to scenic village walks and the stunning coastal paths nearby. Now, it is time for the next custodians to create their own memories and embrace the beauty and serenity of this exceptional home.

Upstairs, the spacious double bedroom exudes character and warmth and there is also a delightful first floor bathroom that perfectly complements the home s historic charm.
