Key information
Property description & features
- Three-Bedroom Semi-Detached Property, Previously the Local Village Pub
- Wealth of Local History
- South-Facing Garden
- Well-Proportioned Rooms
- Parking for Two Cars to the Front
- Potential to Create a Five-Bedroom Family Home Subject to Relevant Planning
The property currently has change of use secured with some potential drawings to convert the property into a five bedroom semi-detached home.
Prior to our current vendors' ownership the property was subject to a few restrictions, however these have now been lifted.
As it stands the property is entered through the front door and into the old pub with the bar still in place.
As soon as you step in you can sense that many a tale has been told here, between friends and family alike.
It is a large open planned room with toilets to one side. Behind the bar is what would have been the old kitchen and entrance into the living accommodation which is now one large space divided in to a dining room and sitting room to the front of the property.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms separated by a large landing and a family bathroom.
Whilst planning hasn't been granted, the current owners have been in touch with a local architect to discuss the idea that the bar is converted into a large kitchen dining room, the old kitchen is converted in to a utility room and the ground floor living room is left almost untouched - but could be sectioned off to include an office, if one so wishes. Furthermore a ground floor bedroom could be created with the toilet block turned in to a modern en-suite and then upstairs have a large open landing where four bedrooms would be arranged.
Outside, and to the rear, is a good sized south-facing garden with parking for two cars to the front.
LITTLE DUNHAM A small village, Little Dunham is within the catchment area for Litcham High School and is situated just north east of the market town of Swaffham.
The village has a church and the nearest primary school is in the neighbouring village of Great Dunham.
An historic and thriving market town, Swaffham is situated approximately 15 miles east of King's Lynn and approximately 30 miles from Norwich.
There is an extensive range of local amenities including a Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, further shops, pubs and restaurants, three doctors surgeries and primary, secondary and higher schools together with a variety of leisure and sports activities including an excellent golf club.
The town has an extremely popular Saturday market and many interesting historic buildings including the parish church and 'The Buttercross'.
The town also boasts a museum which focuses on many different and impressive parts of local history. One key gallery is The Carter Centenary, a chance to learn about Howard Carter, famous for the 1922 discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun - whose extended family lived in Swaffham.
The town offers a great hub for those who wish for a perfect family life. It has a series of schools for different ages, along with being relatively close to other schools including Greshams, Langley Hall and Beeston Hall School
It's also a good base to call home with local activities and entertainment including theatre, open gardens, nature reserves and more.
Swaffham is only around two hours by train to London, with great access to Cambridge and a short journey to Holt, Wells, Brancaster and Burnham Market - as well as the popular little seaside town of Sheringham. Norwich too is quick trip and provides an airport, offering direct flights to Amsterdam.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
