White Cottage is a detached period home in central Swaffham, offering flexible two/three-bedroom accommodation and a private south-facing garden. Set within easy walking distance of the town centre, the house combines traditional character — chimneys, solid brick walls and multi-fuel stoves — with practical modern touches such as a fitted kitchen and two en-suite bedrooms. The layout, with separate sitting, dining and garden rooms plus a study that can serve as a third bedroom, suits downsizers seeking comfort without sacrificing space.
The generous, level plot backs onto St Peter & St Paul Church and includes mature planting, paved terraces and an outbuilding/workshop. That outbuilding has scope for further development or a home office/annexe, subject to planning consent, offering potential to add value or adapt the property for changing needs. Off-road parking and useful utility rooms increase everyday practicality.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the house is a solid-brick period build and likely lacks modern cavity insulation; the EPC is rated D. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, which may affect home working unless alternative solutions are arranged. Any conversion or extension of the outbuilding will require planning approval. These are offset by mains gas heating, double glazing and a large plot in an affluent, low-flood-risk setting.
Overall, White Cottage will suit those wanting a characterful, low-maintenance home in walking distance of shops and services, with clear potential to personalise or extend (planning dependent). It’s an attractive option for downsizers seeking space and privacy, or buyers wanting a period property with scope for modest improvement.
