Location: central town, but area deprivation and above-average crime
A striking brick-and-flint detached period property in the heart of Swaffham, presented as three self-contained, high-spec apartments with flexible living and strong income or family-conversion potential. Originally built in 1778 and comprehensively renovated in 2010, the building retains historic character while offering modern comforts such as underfloor heating, gas central heating and contemporary kitchens. Each principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite, and two apartments have balcony terraces with town-roof views.
The layout currently provides versatile occupation: a main cottage arranged over multiple levels with independent access, plus a ground-floor and a top-floor one-bedroom apartment. There is scope to reinstate an internal staircase and convert the arrangement into a single large family home, subject to planning. Courtyard parking and off-street spaces sit behind the property, and the large plot affords private outdoor space in a quiet central position.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a chain-free sale. Buyers should note the location scores as a deprived area with above-average local crime statistics, which may affect rental yields or resale perceptions. Planning and survey checks are recommended — services and appliances have not been independently tested and conversion to a single residence would require permissions. Overall, the property suits buyers seeking a period home with modern fittings, someone looking for ready-made rental accommodation, or a family wanting to create a substantial town-centre house.
