The Street, Swafield

A charming period cottage enjoying a number of character features, located in the village of Swafield which is just a mile from the outskirts of North Walsham.

The accommodation is currently arranged to provide two bedrooms and a small landing on the first floor, with a double aspect sitting room, kitchen, bathroom and a garden room/boot room on the ground floor.

The centrepiece of the sitting room is the wonderful inglenook fireplace, which houses a wood burner and has exposed brick-work and a tiled hearth. There are also exposed beams and a traditional winding staircase leading up to the first floor.

Electric night storage heaters provide additional heating, and windows have been replaced with uPvc sealed unit double glazing.

The wonderful enclosed split-level cottage garden to the rear is a particular feature of the property, providing seating and growing space.

Although the cottage does not come with a parking space, we understand from the Vendor that she regularly parks a vehicle in the layby opposite. 

Location The village of Swafield is located about a mile North of the market town of North Walsham, a thriving North Norfolk market town offering a range of shopping facilities, all levels of schools including sixth form college, doctors' surgeries, restaurants and leisure facilities. The town also has a railway station providing services on the Norwich to Sheringham line. The sandy beaches of the North East Norfolk coast are about six miles from the town, the Norfolk Broads are about twelve miles to the south and the city of Norwich is approximately 17 miles distant. The coast is within a short drive of the village, with Mundesley being approximately 4 miles to the north-east.
