Oaks Drive, Swaffham

SUMMARY
A stunning 4-bedroom character property which was originally the infirmary to the Swaffham workhouse. Located within easy reach of the town centre and all of its amenities. Boasting an overall plot size of almost half an acre (stms), this is a wonderful opportunity that must be viewed.


DESCRIPTION
We are delighted to present to the market this beautiful early Victorian 4-bedroom home, which is semi-detached on the ground floor only. Set centrally in a mature plot, recent improvements are combined with many charming original character features. The house is set in a very peaceful position, surrounded by mature trees at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and within walking distance of the local schools and town centre. An internal inspection is strongly advised.

The property, which is currently run as a successful B&B, has been lovingly improved to a high standard with many retained period features. The entire north facing side of the house has been double-glazed with custom-made windows in the style of the original design. Both of the reception rooms have log burners giving a welcoming and cosy feel. In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises: entrance porch, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, drawing room, dining room, conservatory. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, the master has an en-suite, and a luxurious family bathroom with a central roll-top bath and a large walk-in shower.

Externally, double gates lead to a gravel driveway offering off-road parking for several vehicles. The south-facing gardens are well-stocked with many specimen trees, ample flower beds including a central cutting bed, wild areas which attract numerous hedgehogs to the garden, and large lawns offering ample space for outside activities.

Outside

As you approach via Oaks Drive you enter through double gates onto a sweeping driveway laid to gravel which opens onto further off-road parking which would make an ideal space for a cart lodge or car port. To the edge of the driveway there is a brick-built storage building with power points and surrounded by a mature camelia and hibiscus. To the rear of the house, which is partly covered by a wisteria, is a large lawn, mature trees, planted beds and a wide variety of shrubs. There is also a lean-to timber building for storing the ride-on mower. With access to the side garden which is lined with very tall bay trees, this wonderful garden enjoys a bright aspect and a good degree of privacy. There are two patios/seating areas and a perimeter path.
