About this property
Stunning Grade II Listed Georgian Home
Prime Position on the Edge of Swaffham Market Place
Restored and Immaculately Presented Throughout
Retaining Original Period Features Including Sash Windows and Fireplaces
Elegant Entrance Hall with Flagstone Flooring and Turning Staircase
Two Spacious Reception Rooms with Character Features
High Specification Hand-Fitted Kitchen with Island and Granite Worktops
Three Well-Proportioned Bedrooms
En-Suite to Principal Bedroom Plus Family Bathroom
Enclosed Walled Courtyard Garden with Gated Parking and Planning Permission to Reinstate Attic Accommodation
Beautifully positioned on the edge of Swaffham’s bustling market place, this impressive Grade II listed Georgian home enjoys a striking façade and a wonderful sense of history. Having undergone a comprehensive restoration around 2020 by skilled local craftsmen, the property is now presented in immaculate condition, seamlessly blending period elegance with refined modern living.
Inside, the home retains all the charm of its Georgian origins, with high ceilings, sash windows and a welcoming sense of light and space. A central entrance hall with flagstone flooring and a turning staircase sets the tone, leading to two elegant reception rooms, both featuring fireplaces and tall sash windows with shutters. The dining room also enjoys exposed floorboards and a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character.
The hand-fitted kitchen sits at the heart of the home, complete with granite work surfaces and a central island, complemented by a utility room, cloakroom and useful cellar.
Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms are arranged around a light-filled landing. The principal bedroom benefits from en-suite facilities, with a further bedroom currently used as a dressing room, served by the family bathroom.
Beyond, the enclosed walled courtyard garden provides a private and sheltered outdoor retreat, ideal for al fresco dining or quiet enjoyment. With gated access and off-road parking to the rear, the outside space is as practical as it is peaceful, a rare advantage for a home of this calibre in such a central setting.
Adding further potential, planning permission had been granted to reinstate the former attic accommodation, offering an exciting opportunity to expand the living space and restore this historic home to an even grander scale, should the next custodian wish to do so.
A truly special Georgian residence, offering character, provenance and ongoing potential, all within one of Norfolk’s most desirable and well-connected market towns.
Swaffham
An historic and thriving market town, Swaffham is situated approximately 15 miles east of King's Lynn and approximately 30 miles from Norwich.
There is an extensive range of local amenities including a Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, further shops, pubs and restaurants, three doctors surgeries and primary, secondary and higher schools together with a variety of leisure and sports activities including an excellent golf club.
The town has an extremely popular Saturday market and many interesting historic buildings including the parish church and 'The Buttercross'.
The town also boasts a museum which focuses on many different and impressive parts of local history. One key gallery is The Carter Centenary, a chance to learn about Howard Carter, famous for the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun - whose extended family lived in Swaffham.
The town offers a great hub for those who wish for a perfect family life. It has a series of schools for different ages, along with being relatively close to other schools including Greshams, Langley Hall and Beeston Hall School
It's also a good base to call home with local activities and entertainment including theatre, open gardens, nature reserves and more.
Swaffham is only around two hours by train to London, with great access to Cambridge and a short journey to Holt, Wells, Brancaster and Burnham Market - as well as the popular little seaside town of Sheringham. Norwich too is quick trip and provides an airport, offering direct flights to Amsterdam.
