Summary - THORNTON HOUSE, 17 LONDON STREET, SWAFFHAM PE37 7DD
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Large renovation project with garden and parking potential in central Swaffham.
Grade II listed period cottage with strong original features
Thornton House is a deceptively spacious Grade II listed cottage in Swaffham town centre, offered chain free and ready for a full refurbishment project. The property retains strong period character — exposed timbers, latch doors and multiple fireplaces — across a generous internal footprint (c.2,121 sq ft) and a decent garden that could provide practical off-street parking.
This end-terrace cottage presents clear development upside for an investor or buyer who can navigate listed‑building constraints. The layout already provides two reception rooms, an open-plan kitchen/breakfast area and three double bedrooms; with careful renovation the space could be modernised while preserving attractive historic features. Mains gas heating and good mobile signal add to everyday practicality.
Important considerations: the house requires full modernisation throughout and sits within the conservation area, so listed‑building status will complicate alterations and add regulatory cost and time. The rear garden has two rights of way for neighbouring properties and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. Prospective buyers should commission full surveys and factor in specialist consent costs for works to a listed building.
