Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a tucked-away building plot with full planning permission for a new three-bedroom chalet bungalow, positioned within a quiet cul-de-sac setting close to the centre of Swaffham.
Tucked away to the rear of New Sporle Road, this individual building plot offers the opportunity to create a thoughtfully designed new home on an underused site, with planning permission already granted for a three-bedroom chalet bungalow.
ACCOMMODATION
The approved scheme provides a spacious and practical layout, with an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room opening directly onto the garden, together with two ground-floor bedrooms, a family bathroom and an en-suite bedroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom benefits from its own dressing room, large en-suite bathroom and a balcony-style rooflight overlooking the front of the property.
OUTSIDE
Outside, the proposed home is designed to enjoy a generous private garden, with two allocated parking spaces and a discreet position at the end of the existing cul-de-sac. The approved design has been carefully considered to sit comfortably alongside the neighbouring bungalows, with matching red brickwork and a similar overall scale.
The site currently comprises two ageing garage buildings and associated parking, providing an opportunity to replace an underutilised and somewhat tired area with a modern, individual home.
Full planning permission was granted by Breckland Council in April 2026 under application PL/2025/1470/FMIN, subject to conditions. The permission is specifically for the construction of one chalet bungalow.
For anyone looking to build their own home, this is an exciting opportunity to acquire a consented site in an established residential setting, without the uncertainty of seeking planning permission from scratch.
