" Sowerbys are pleased to offer this impressive bay-fronted Edwardian town house, conveniently located just a short walk from Swaffham town centre. Built in 1905, the property enjoys the well-proportioned and high ceilinged rooms synonymous with homes of this era, with many original period features also remaining. The spacious accommodation is arranged over three floors and briefly comprises entrance porch, reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, utility room, cloakroom and rear lobby on the ground floor; with four bedrooms and the family bathroom on the first level which is accessible via two staircases, with a further flight of stairs rising to the master bedroom and en-suite on the second floor. Outside, there is an enclosed garden with paved entertaining space and a higher tier which is laid to lawn. There is also a private driveway which provides off-road car parking and in turn leads to a detached double garage, which in the past has had planning approval for conversion into an annexe. Few properties can equal the sheer volume of space that is on offer at Canford Lodge, providing the flexibility within the accommodation to meet the needs of modern family living.
