About Swaffham
Swaffham is a Norfolk market town that's got everything you need day-to-day. You'll find three supermarkets, plenty of pubs and cafés, and a good selection of independent shops. Healthcare is solid too, with three GP practices and a hospital on your doorstep.
House prices here are well below the UK average. Flats go for around £121,500 and detached homes near £331,000, which makes it a realistic option if you've been priced out of neighbouring neighbourhoods. Most schools are rated Good, and the A47 gives you straightforward road access to Norwich and King's Lynn. You'll need a car though — public transport is limited.
Crime is dropping and sits below average for burglary and vehicle theft. The Norfolk climate is drier than much of the country, and the air's clean. If you're after somewhere affordable and settled to build a life, Swaffham delivers.
