Swaffham

Set in the heart of one of Norfolk’s most sought-after market towns, 31 Theatre Street is a home with real character. Its double bay-fronted red brick and render façade hints at the charm within — the quiet confidence of a period residence full of history and heart.
Step inside to an interior rich with warmth and individuality. The traditional quarry-tiled hallway leads to a cosy bay-fronted lounge, where a cast iron fireplace and wood-burning stove create the perfect setting for winter evenings. “It’s our favourite room on cold nights,” say the current owners.
Across the hall, the formal dining room offers light and character, with a second fireplace and bespoke window seat — ideal for morning coffee or a good book. At the rear, the kitchen blends period detail with practicality, flowing into a utility space and ground floor cloakroom.
Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms provide calm retreats. The principal features an elegant fireplace and storage, while the second offers flexibility for guests or a home office. The standout is the luxurious four-piece bathroom, complete with claw-foot roll-top bath and double shower — a private, spa-like sanctuary.
Outside, the low-maintenance garden is complemented by a large detached workshop/garage with power, offering excellent conversion potential (STPP). Parking is via a private driveway.

SWAFFHAM
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’.
There’s also a town 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.
Location is a highlight. “We’ve loved being a short walk from Swaffham’s town centre, with its independents, cafés and hidden gems — yet we’re also surrounded by woodland and countryside, perfect for walks with the dogs.” With the Norfolk coast and Norwich within easy reach, this home balances town and country living beautifully.
