Set in the middle of a one acre plot with uninterrupted rural views over the rolling countryside. close to South Creake, this hideaway boasts a 10m outdoor heated swimming pool, plus an outdoor kitchen with wood-fired pizza oven and built-in gas barbecue.

    This fabulous property is set in a fantastic location, close to Burnham Market and only a short drive to the coast with its glorious vast stretches of soft sand.

There are three further bedrooms upstairs and a family bathroom.

    The heart of the house is undoubtedly the open-plan kitchen and living area, with an Aga and conventional oven, relaxed dining area, comfy seating area, television and a wall of folding doors which open onto the rear garden which has garden furniture and a table and chairs. There is a separate more formal dining room and also a main sitting room/snug with open fire and television.

    Swan Cottage offers guests luxurious little extras such as 400 thread count Egyptian Cotton linens and soft pillows and duvets to provide a wonderful night's sleep, Egyptian cotton towels, complimentary toiletries and a welcome hamper on arrival.

    The outside is just as lovely as the inside and you will adore the swimming pool and dining alfresco together on warm summer evenings. This is a perfect space to enjoy the garden with a wood fired pizza oven, built-in gas barbecue, brazier to provide some heat later on, large polished concrete bar with cupboards beneath and power sockets to plug in your music. There are bar stools around the bar and a round rattan dining table with glass top and six chairs, all undercover with with colour changing LED lighting.
