Modern Village Living with Countryside Charm
3 Bedrooms | Detached Family Home | South-Facing Garden | No Onward Chain
If you’ve been searching for a beautiful detached country home that offers the perfect slice of village life without sacrificing easy access to the city, your search stops here. Nestled right in the heart of the highly desirable village of Swaffham Bulbeck, this three-bedroom property has been lovingly maintained and modernised by the same family for the past 13 years. Having just undergone a fresh partial redecoration alongside the installation of brand-new carpets, this home is offered entirely chain-free and in complete turn-key condition—perfect for a growing family, first-time buyers, or anyone looking to downsize into a vibrant community.
The Heart of the Home & Social Spaces
Step inside to discover a home designed for both cosy family evenings and effortless entertaining. Positioned at the front of the property is a generous living room, bathed in natural light from its beautiful bay window and centred around a feature wood burner—ideal for curling up on chilly winter nights.
To the rear sits the true showstopper: a super-sized kitchen and dining area that acts as the ultimate social hub. This premium space comes fully equipped with integrated NEFF and Bosch appliances, sleek cabinetry, and plenty of room for a large dining table. Erasing the boundary between inside and out, modern bifold doors open up completely to the sun-drenched decked terrace, making summer hosting a breeze. A highly practical, separate utility room keeps laundry out of sight and offers side access, complemented by a convenient downstairs WC.
The Sleeping Quarters
The high standard continues upstairs, where a rare and desirable layout offers three genuine double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a peaceful, generous retreat overlooking the rear garden, benefiting from its own contemporary en-suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are equally well-proportioned doubles, offering fantastic versatility to adapt to your needs—whether you require spacious children's rooms, premium guest accommodation, or a distraction-free environment to work from home. Serving the first floor is a crisp, modern family bathroom finished with clean, contemporary tiling.
A South-Facing Oasis & Bonus Studio
The outdoor space is a special treat. Fully enclosed and entirely un-overlooked, the south-facing rear garden feels like a private sanctuary. A large decked terrace leads onto a lush lawn, bordered by mature trees and established planting that offer a beautiful sense of secure greenery.
Tucked away at the bottom of the garden is a substantial timber studio shed. Thoughtfully upgraded with an insulated roof, full power, and lighting, this space is completely primed to become a dedicated home office, a creative workshop, or a quiet hobby room. To the front, the property benefits from excellent kerb appeal and a private driveway with space for two vehicles, complete with an installed electric vehicle (EV) charging port.
Life in Swaffham Bulbeck
