Guide price £220,000–£240,000. This detached two-bedroom bungalow in Swanton Close, Dereham, sits on a large plot in a quiet, established street and offers substantial scope for renovation and value uplift. The property is freehold and benefits from a front driveway, single garage and a generous rear garden with space for landscaping or a possible extension (STPP).
Internally the layout is traditional and straightforward: a spacious sitting room to the front, separate kitchen to the rear, two double bedrooms and a centrally placed bathroom. The interior is dated throughout and requires a full programme of modernisation — kitchen and bathroom need replacement and cosmetic works are needed across the living spaces. The property’s solid mid-20th-century construction provides a clear canvas for a sympathetic refurbishment or redesign.
For downsizers, investors or buyers seeking a bespoke home, the plot and position are the main strengths. The home is within comfortable walking distance of Dereham town centre, local shops, schools and a nearby country park, while easy road links (A47) keep the town accessible. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local crime levels are low, making this a practical, low-risk project.
Buyers should factor renovation costs and any planning requirements into their budget. The property does not present flood risk, but the interior condition and dated services mean a full refurbishment is likely required to realise the site’s potential. This is a straightforward, high-potential project for those wanting to create a tailor-made, single-storey home in a sought-after Dereham pocket.
