A fine Grade II listed red-brick residence dating to the early 1700s, formerly a boutique hotel and now offered chain free. The main house provides seven en-suite bedrooms, generous reception rooms, lower-ground dining and wine cellar, and period features including original staircases and fireplaces. Detached converted stables and a large converted barn are included, offering flexible ancillary accommodation or income potential.
Gardens are formally landscaped and well maintained with gated off-street parking and mature planting by a named designer. The property sits in the heart of Swaffham, a small market town with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, within easy walking distance of the market square and local amenities.
Practical points for buyers: planning permission (May 2024, Breckland ref 3PL/2024/0255/F) permits change of use from hotel (C1) to a single residential dwelling (C3). The Grade II listing means repairs, alterations and any change may require Listed Building Consent and will affect costs and timescales. The wider area shows higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators; buyers should satisfy themselves on security and community services.
This is a substantial, characterful estate best appreciated on viewing. It will suit purchasers seeking a prestigious retirement residence with outbuildings for multi‑generational living, home-working or continued short‑term letting, and those prepared for listed‑building responsibilities and conversion detail.
