Description:
Ducktails is a charming traditional brick and flint cottage situated in the picturesque village of South Creake. It was converted from an old forge and is the middle of three cottages. It has a stream running in front of it, with a bridge for access.
Many of the original features of the old forge have been retained, which adds to the character of the cottage. Ducktails has a lovely beamed sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace.This contains a woodburning stove, which makes it lovely and cosy in the winter. There are also electric storage heaters both upstairs and downstairs.
Used by us as our own holiday and weekend cottage, Ducktails is furnished to a high standard and very well equipped. Everything in the cottage is new and the reclaimed pine furniture was made specially by a local craftsman.The whole cottage has been redecorated and recarpeted throughout.
