Swaffham House East of England
Stylish period house in the heart of a pretty market town
With original Elizabethan and Georgian features, this handsome manor house has been carefully restored to provide every modern comfort you could wish for. As you enter the magnificent hallway, you know this is a special place to stay. The statuesque rooms are effortlessly stylish and make the perfect backdrop for cocktails and dinner parties. And there’s a Sonos sound system and a piano to provide the sound track to your celebrations. The kitchen combines rustic charm with state-of-the-art appliances including a Bertazzoni range cooker, 2 wine chillers and 2 full sized Fischer Paykel fridge freezers. This is a kitchen just made for entertaining. Outside, there are no fewer than four landscaped gardens, softly illuminated by flood lights to add to your party atmosphere. When the evening is over, make your way to bed in one of the 10 calming king-size bedrooms, served by 4 luxury bathrooms or wet rooms, and enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep. Situated in the heart of photogenic Swaffham in Norfolk, Swaffham House may seem familiar to you. Perhaps you have seen its Georgian façade on TV, including the TV series Kingdom, with Stephen Fry.
