The Location
Set in the heart of Swanton Morley, this property enjoys a well-connected yet distinctly rural location, offering the best of both convenience and countryside living. This picturesque Norfolk village is steeped in history, with the impressive 14th-century All Saints’ Church standing proudly at its centre. Beyond its heritage charm, Swanton Morley is a vibrant and active community with a great selection of local amenities and easy access to nearby towns.
The village itself is home to a local shop and post office, a well-regarded butchers and delicatessen, a children’s nursery, and a primary school-all within easy reach. Day-to-day needs are well covered with a doctors’ surgery, garage, and other essential services that support a relaxed and convenient lifestyle. For a small village, Swanton Morley has a lively social spirit; the Village Hall, set within nine acres of open space, is a central hub for the community. Hosting everything from theatre productions and quiz nights to seasonal fairs and fireworks displays, it’s also the proud home ground of Swanton Morley fc.
Dining and socialising are well catered for too, with a popular village pub offering food, drinks, and a friendly atmosphere, alongside a regular line-up of events from live music to charity evenings. The nearby bowls and cricket clubs further bring the community together-matches often ending with a post-game gathering at the pub.
Swanton Morley’s location also provides excellent connections: The market town of Dereham is just a 10-minute drive away, offering larger supermarkets, high street shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as leisure and healthcare facilities.
For commuters, Norwich lies approximately 17 miles to the east (around 30–35 minutes by car), providing access to mainline rail services, cultural attractions, and extensive retail and dining options. The North Norfolk coast can also be reached in under 40 minutes, making Swanton Morley an ideal base for those seeking a peaceful village setting without compromising on convenience or connectivity.
