Swaffham is west Norfolk's most important market town, sitting on the edge of the Breckland heathland around 20 miles from Wymondham. We serve homeowners across the PE37 postcode area including Swaffham, Sporle, North and South Pickenham, Necton, Ashill, and the surrounding west Norfolk villages.
The town is centred on its distinctive Market Cross and butter cross, and the surrounding market place is lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings that give Swaffham an unusually coherent architectural character for a Norfolk market town. The Church of St Peter and St Paul, with its magnificent hammer beam roof, is one of the finest parish churches in Norfolk.
The housing in and around Swaffham reflects its west Norfolk setting: flint-faced cottages and Victorian terraces in the older streets, substantial Georgian and Edwardian villas on the better roads, and 20th-century estates on the town's edges. We work across all of these property types, understanding the different construction approaches and material choices that each demands.
Extensions, loft conversions, and full renovations are all popular in the Swaffham area. Many properties in west Norfolk have been in the same family for generations and are being updated to meet modern living expectations - often requiring significant renovation work alongside extensions. We approach these projects with sensitivity to the character of the existing building while delivering the modern performance and comfort our clients need.
