3 Bedroom Detached House

Occupying one of the most picturesque positions within the highly desirable village of Swardeston, this delightful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage enjoys an enviable outlook directly across the village common and the iconic cricket ground. Dating back to the 1830s, the property is rich in character and period charm, whilst offering beautifully presented accommodation arranged over three floors.

The accommodation begins with an inviting entrance hall leading to a cosy sitting room, where a feature fireplace creates a warm and welcoming focal point. To the rear, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the superb open-plan kitchen and dining room. Thoughtfully designed to complement the cottage's heritage while embracing modern living, this impressive space features exposed timber beams, traditional pamment tiled flooring, a breakfast bar and a striking cast-iron wood burner set within an attractive fireplace surround. A stable door opens onto the rear garden area, further enhancing the property's timeless appeal.

The first floor offers two generous double bedrooms, each retaining character features including fitted storage and a decorative cast-iron fireplace. These rooms are served by a beautifully appointed period-style bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath, separate shower cubicle and traditional sanitary ware, creating an elegant and relaxing retreat.

Occupying the entire second floor, the principal bedroom is a wonderful space filled with natural light from three windows. Fitted wardrobes and useful eaves storage are complemented by delightful, elevated views across the common and cricket ground, making this an exceptional principal suite.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a charming garden area enclosed by mature trees, established shrubs and timber fencing, providing a peaceful setting for outdoor enjoyment. Uniquely, the garden forms part of the historic village common, preserving the exceptional open aspect and ensuring this remarkable setting cannot be developed, safeguarding the character and outlook for years to come.

Swardeston continues to be regarded as one of Norfolk's finest villages, combining a vibrant community, beautiful countryside and outstanding accessibility. Homes overlooking the common and cricket ground are seldom available, making this an exceptional opportunity to acquire a period cottage in one of the county's most iconic village locations.
