This historic period home, known as The Old Vicarage, dates back to the 1800s and is located just a short distance from the centre of Swaffham. With substantial living space and features characteristic of its era, this property represents an excellent renovation opportunity for those looking to create a distinctive residence or investment.
The Old Vicarage offers a versatile layout across two floors. The main house includes multiple reception areas, such as a formal dining room with a bay window and feature fireplace—ideal for family gatherings. In addition to the spacious sitting room adorned with two bay windows, there are several other multifunctional rooms including a drawing room, kitchen, breakfast room, study, utility room, and both cloakroom and shower facilities. A separate entrance leads to an annexe kitchen, further expanding the home's potential for multi-generational living or rental opportunities.
Upstairs, you will find accommodations that can accommodate up to nine bedrooms. Three of these bedrooms connect conveniently to the annexe area and could be transformed into an upstairs lounge with two bedrooms, equipped with its own bathroom—a perfect setup for independent living. Given the current layout, there is ample scope for modernisation that may include adding en suite bathrooms or additional facilities tailored to contemporary tastes.
Set on approximately 1.2 acres of land, the outdoor space features mature gardens complemented by various trees and shrubs. The approach to the property is through a lengthy driveway that provides off-road parking for several vehicles. A range of outbuildings currently used for storage and garage space enhances this property’s appeal; these could be repurposed or renovated into additional accommodation or workshops.
Swaffham itself boasts an array of local amenities including shops, public houses, and educational institutions at both primary and secondary levels. For commuting needs, Downham Market is close by offering direct rail access to London Kings Cross in just over an hour and a half.
With its rich historical character combined with significant potential for renovation and development, The Old Vicarage is not just a home but also an investment opportunity waiting to be fully realized.
