Description
Set on the outskirts of Swaffham town centre, Greenhoe presents an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a substantial lifestyle property extending to approximately 2.2 acres (stms), combining generous accommodation, extensive outbuildings and the convenience of a well-connected market town location. With over 3,000 sq ft of versatile living space, this is a home that readily adapts to modern family life, home working or multi-generational living, while offering excellent scope for future enhancement.
Positioned along Norwich Road, the property enjoys a pleasing balance between open surroundings and everyday accessibility. Swaffham’s amenities, schooling and transport links are within comfortable reach, while the A47 provides straightforward access to Norwich and King’s Lynn. This setting makes Greenhoe particularly appealing for those seeking space without sacrificing convenience.
The main residence offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, with flexibility at its core. The ground floor is centred around a large living and dining room, providing an ideal hub for both family gatherings and entertaining. Additional reception rooms include a snug and a separate study, allowing for quieter spaces or dedicated home-working environments. The kitchen/breakfast room is generous in scale, complemented by an adjoining pantry and utility room, ensuring practicality for everyday living. The layout allows for both open, sociable living and more defined rooms, with clear potential for reconfiguration or modernisation to suit individual tastes and requirements.
To the first floor, six bedrooms are arranged around a central landing, reflecting the scale and adaptability of the house. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite facilities, while further bedrooms are served by family bathroom accommodation. One of the rooms offers ideal use as an additional office, nursery or guest bedroom, reinforcing the flexibility of the overall layout. Whether accommodating a growing family, visiting guests or extended family members, the upstairs arrangement is well suited to a variety of needs.
Outside, the grounds extend to approximately 2.2 acres (stms) and form a key part of the property’s appeal. The land provides a broad canvas for a range of lifestyle pursuits, from gardening and outdoor recreation to equestrian or small-scale agricultural interests, subject to the usual consents. An outdoor heated swimming pool adds a further lifestyle element, creating a private space for relaxation and entertaining during the warmer months. The grounds also offer scope for further landscaping or amenity use, allowing incoming owners to tailor the setting to their own vision.
A comprehensive range of outbuildings significantly enhances the offering. These include a garage, workshop and multiple storage areas, alongside several detached sheds and ancillary buildings. In total, the outbuildings extend to approximately 1,029 sq ft, providing excellent opportunities for storage, workshops, studios or potential conversion for business or ancillary use (stpp). The scale and variety of these buildings will particularly appeal to buyers seeking space beyond standard residential requirements.
Greenhoe represents a compelling combination of town-edge convenience and countryside scale. With substantial accommodation, extensive outbuildings and a generous plot, it offers a flexible and practical proposition for purchasers seeking space, versatility and long-term potential in one of Norfolk’s most popular market towns.

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.
