Close to the town centre of the bustling Swaffham market place you will discover this impressive Grade II listed home with its handsome Georgian faade. With three spacious bedrooms, a hand-fitted kitchen, two impressive reception rooms, and planning permission, this could be your ideal town house.

Situated close to the town centre on the periphery of the bustling Swaffham market place you will discover this impressive Grade II listed home with its handsome Georgian façade. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration in around 2020 by local builders and craftsmen, the property was given a new lease of life and is found in immaculate condition – both inside and out.

Having purchased the property in 2022, its current custodians chose living in Swaffham for it being a well-connected location. Placed perfectly to access and enjoy the fine county of Norfolk, including the beautiful North Norfolk coast, whilst maintaining the ability to conveniently travel back down south, as and when required.

Since moving in, the current owners have continued to improve the property, not least of which by installing bespoke secondary glazing by a renowned company, Storm.

The next chapter for this historic home, and a possible project for its future custodians, could be to re-instate the attic space to its former use as bedroom accommodation, and/or further reception space. Previously a staircase was believed to continue up from the first floor landing onto the second floor, potentially where the ‘staff accommodation’ was positioned within the home. Historic pictures seems to show that dormer windows were a feature of the second floor roof-line and hence planning permission has been granted to re-instate this floor to its former glory, should one wish to do so.

The property’s frontage enjoys an excellent feel of symmetry which perfectly encapsulates the Georgian period, the central and suitably impressive front door. The entrance hall welcomes you into the home with a wonderful feeling of light and space aided by the characteristically high ceilings and the must-have sash windows, which can be found throughout. An immersive flag-stoned floor graces the entrance hall which grants access to the ground floor living accommodation and onto the first floor via a delightful turning staircase and onto a semi-galleried landing.

The two principal reception rooms comprise of a spacious sitting room and a dining room, each featuring twin sash windows adorned with fully functioning timber shutters, and most-impressive open fireplaces with marble surrounds. The dining room enjoys an exposed boarded floor in addition to a wood-burning stove, inset into the aforementioned fireplace.

The kitchen has been hand-fitted to an exceptional standard with granite work surfaces and a central island, along with a host of appliances as one might expect. The kitchen is complemented by a spacious utility room and a cloakroom, as well as a cellar.

First floor accommodation is arranged around a split-level landing which offers an excellent sense of space and is filled with an abundance of natural light. The principal bedroom enjoys its own en-suite facilities, whilst bedroom two, currently purposed as a lavishly appointed dressing room, and bedroom three are served by the family bathroom.

Externally, a fully enclosed and walled courtyard garden awaits and is the perfect secluded and sheltered spot for al-fresco dining. Vehicular access is provided to the side of the property with a gate to the off-road parking to the rear portion of the courtyard garden.
