The Old Vicarage is a substantial early 19th century former rectory located close to Swaffham town centre. Set within about 1.31 acres, the house offers grand period proportions, high ceilings, large reception rooms and a nine‑bedroom layout split across the main house and an annexe. Off‑street parking and a lengthy tree‑lined driveway lead to useful outbuildings and a covered car port with inspection pit.
This chain‑free property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout and currently has an EPC rating of F. Services are present including mains gas boiler heating, mains water and electricity, and private drainage; the glazing is double glazed but install dates are unknown. The existing layout provides clear scope to add bathrooms or en suites and to reconfigure the annexe for independent multi‑generational use or rental income.
For buyers seeking period character and space, the plot and footprint present strong potential for sensitive renovation, extension or partial conversion subject to consents. Notable practical considerations are the property's condition, likely need for upgraded services and insulation, council tax Band E, and the private drainage arrangement which buyers should inspect. This is a high‑potential, high‑work opportunity for an owner‑occupier or investor prepared to modernise a landmark home.
