Set within a Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in Swaffham town centre, this chain-free first-floor flat offers a newly refurbished, open-plan living space ideal for a downsizer or retirement buyer seeking low-maintenance living close to shops and amenities. The accommodation includes an integrated kitchen, modern shower room and a communal courtyard for outside space. The property is offered with 115 years remaining on the lease (125-year lease from 2015) and you will acquire 1/9th of the freehold on purchase.
The flat benefits from period sash windows with secondary glazing, high ceilings on the exterior building, and contemporary finishes inside. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the EPC is rated D66. Council tax is low and the service charge of approximately £1,440 per year includes ground rent and communal maintenance, which helps simplify ongoing costs.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building: listed status can restrict alterations and may complicate future works or extensions. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so thermal improvements may be limited and heating is electric rather than gas. The property is compact at around 484 sq ft, best suited to a single occupant or couple rather than a family.
Overall this is a well-presented, low-upkeep flat in a convenient market town location with easy access to local shops, public transport and services. It will appeal to downsizers or retirees wanting town-centre convenience and period character, provided they accept listed-building constraints and electric heating.
