3 bedroom cottage

Tucked discreetly in the very heart of Swaffham, Ash Close offers a rare blend of heritage character and modern flexibility, ideal for those who value both atmosphere and practicality. This chain-free, three-storey cottage makes an immediate impression with its period features, including a wood-burning stove in the lounge that anchors the home with warmth and authenticity.

Set just moments from the market town’s shops, cafés, and services, it’s the kind of location that invites a car-free lifestyle—where weekend plans, errands, and evening strolls start right from your doorstep.

Thoughtfully laid out across three floors, the property lends itself to a range of living arrangements. A tucked-away landing study and a separate home office space provide options for remote work or creative pursuits, while the outbuilding — a former tack room — offers scope for a garden studio, workshop, or further office conversion, adding genuine versatility.

The private courtyard garden offers a peaceful, low-maintenance outdoor retreat—an unexpected bonus in a town centre setting—perfect for relaxed breakfasts or quiet evenings.

Ash Close is more than a place to live—it’s a chance to be part of the town’s fabric while enjoying the comfort and charm of a home that truly fits today’s lifestyle.
