Description
The Old Vicarage is a substantial period home dating back to the 1800s and located close to Swaffham town centre. Having been in the same ownership for a number of years, the house would now benefit from a process of modernisation but offers a purchaser a unique opportunity to put their own stamp on a fine home.
The accommodation spans two floors and comprises of the main house as well as an annexe giving scope for excellent multi-generational living potential. The ground floor is entered via a hallway featuring a most impressive staircase and the hall leads into several reception rooms. The first of which is a formal dining room with bay window and feature fireplace and ideal for family gatherings. The remaining rooms consist of a large sitting room with two bay windows and a fireplace, drawing room kitchen, breakfast room, study, a practical utility room and both a cloakroom and shower room. The kitchen for the annexe is also on the ground floor and has its own separate access. Two cellar rooms provide characterful storage.
To the first floor are up to nine bedrooms. Three of these can be connected into the annexe and could be arranged as an upstairs sitting room and two bedrooms for that wing of the property with its very own bathroom servicing them. The remaining bedrooms are served via a family bathroom. Thanks to the layout of the rooms it is likely a purchaser will want to create additional bathrooms or en suites however this is envisaged to achievable.
Outside
The property is approached via a lengthy driveway shielded by trees and leads to off road parking for several vehicles on the gravel driveway. Sitting within a plot of about 1.2 acres, the gardens are mainly laid to lawn with several mature trees and shrubs in situ.
Offering scope for a variety of uses or perhaps conversion into additional accommodation is a series of useful outbuildings. These currently can be used as garaging, and tool storage and a large covered car port features an inspection pit and as such is a great space for a classic car collector to enjoy.
Location
The attractive market town of Swaffham has a good range of local facilities and specialist shopping alongside the usual butchers, chemists, public houses and a Waitrose on the edge of the town. There is primary and secondary education and the Sacred Heart School. Further facilities can be found at Downham Market which also has an excellent railway link to London Kings Cross with a fastest journey time of 1 hour 30 minutes.
