As of 1 August 2026, Swanton Morley’s average asking price stands at £459,000, a figure pulled from a current pool of 48 properties on the market. Stock ranges widely, from a £220,000 entry-level property up to a £1,295,000 home at the top end, which tells you this is a village where buyers can find anything from a modest starter house to a substantial country property under one postcode.
Of those 48 listings, 4 are sold subject to contract, leaving 44 still actively available. That is a modest proportion under offer against total stock, and it sits alongside an average marketing period of 380 days, a length of time that reflects the mix of higher-value detached homes that typically take longer to find the right buyer. Set against Norfolk’s county average price of £378,078, Swanton Morley runs 21.4% higher, underlining its position as one of the pricier villages in this part of the county.

The clearest trend in Swanton Morley right now is the sheer breadth of the price ladder, running from £220,000 to £1,295,000, which keeps the £459,000 average from telling the full story on its own. A SSTC rate of +20.0% points to demand that is holding up rather than falling away, even though only 4 of the 48 listings are currently under offer.
Marketing times of 380 days on average are a touch below the Norfolk county figure of 391 days, a difference of 11 days. That is a small gap, but it means Swanton Morley homes are, on balance, moving marginally faster than the typical property elsewhere in the county, despite carrying a higher price tag.
With 44 of the 48 current listings still actively seeking a buyer and only 4 marked SSTC, supply is comfortably ahead of the pace at which homes are being taken under offer. Months of inventory at the current sales rate sits at 12.5, meaning it would take that long to clear existing stock if no new listings were added, a figure that favours buyers with room to view, compare and negotiate.
That said, a SSTC rate of +20.0% is not a signal of a stalled market. It suggests demand is present and active, just not yet strong enough to absorb the available stock quickly. On balance, conditions here currently sit closer to buyers’ territory than sellers’, particularly for stock priced toward the upper end of the £220,000 to £1,295,000 range.
Momentum in Swanton Morley reads as steady rather than sharply moving in either direction. The +20.0% SSTC rate is a positive indicator of ongoing buyer interest, and the average 380-day marketing period, while lengthy in absolute terms, is actually 11 days shorter than the Norfolk county average of 391 days.
Taken together, this is not a market accelerating toward a rapid sellers’ phase, nor one visibly cooling. It is a village market absorbing its 48 available properties at a measured, largely unhurried pace, with 12.5 months of inventory providing a cushion against sudden swings in either direction.
Buyers currently have reasonable room to negotiate in Swanton Morley. With 44 properties still actively for sale against only 4 SSTC, and 12.5 months of inventory on the books, there is no urgency forcing offers to match asking price. An average marketing period of 380 days also means sellers who have been on the market for several months are often more open to a considered offer.
That said, the +20.0% SSTC rate is worth watching. It suggests that well-priced homes, particularly at the lower end near the £220,000 mark, are not sitting indefinitely. Buyers with a genuine interest in a specific property should not assume unlimited time to deliberate, even in a market that currently favours their position.
We track Swanton Morley closely because it behaves differently to the villages immediately around it. The spread from £220,000 to £1,295,000 is unusually wide for a single village market, and it means two buyers looking at Swanton Morley on the same day can be having entirely different conversations, one about a starter semi, the other about a substantial detached property with land.
What we see on the ground matches the figures: 380 days is a realistic timeframe for the right buyer to find the right home here, especially at the higher end of the range, and sellers who understand that patience is part of the process tend to achieve better outcomes than those who chase a quick sale at any cost. As part of The Ivybridge Collection, we bring that granular, village-specific knowledge to every valuation and negotiation we handle here.
The 12.5 months of inventory currently sitting in Swanton Morley is a meaningful figure. At the current pace of sales, it would take just over a year to work through the 48 properties presently listed if nothing new came to market, which is a longer runway than a fast-moving market would show. Combined with an average of 380 days on market, the numbers point to a village where homes require real time to find their buyer, not a lack of demand outright.
The +20.0% SSTC rate offers a useful counterbalance to that picture. It indicates that transaction activity is trending upward rather than flat or declining, even against a backdrop of substantial available stock. The £459,000 average price, sitting 21.4% above the Norfolk county average of £378,078, also reflects the village’s skew toward larger detached properties, which naturally take longer to sell than smaller homes and pull the overall average and days-on-market figures upward.
Buying in Swanton Morley means accepting that the process may run longer than in a fast-turnover market, with the current average sitting at 380 days on the market. That is not a reason to rush a decision, since 12.5 months of inventory means there is genuine choice across the 44 actively listed properties, from a 2-bed semi-detached on Strickland Drive at £250,000 to a 4-bed detached on Rectory Road at £460,000.
Buyers should expect the wider price range, £220,000 to £1,295,000, to reflect real differences in property size, land, and condition rather than simple postcode premium. A property like Greengate House Farm at £545,000 sits at a very different tier to a Strickland Drive semi at £240,000, and understanding which segment of that range a target property falls into is the first step to making a sensible offer.
Our view on Swanton Morley is that it rewards buyers and sellers who treat it as a genuine village market rather than an extension of Dereham’s suburbs. The price range on offer, from £220,000 through to £1,295,000, spans first homes to substantial country properties, and each end of that scale behaves quite differently in terms of how long a sale takes and how much room there is to negotiate.
With a +20.0% SSTC rate against 12.5 months of inventory, we see a market that is neither struggling nor overheating. It simply requires realistic pricing from day one. Properties that come to market in line with recent comparable sales tend to attract serious interest, while those priced ambitiously against the £459,000 average often account for a fair share of the longer 380-day marketing periods we are currently recording.
For an investor assessing Swanton Morley, the headline figures are an average price of £459,000, a SSTC rate of +20.0%, and 12.5 months of inventory currently sitting on the market across 48 listed properties. The price range of £220,000 to £1,295,000 shows this is a village with both accessible entry points and higher-value stock.
Rental demand data is not currently available for this report, so we are not in a position to state a yield or rental figure here. The +20.0% SSTC rate is a reasonable proxy for underlying buyer demand in the meantime, and the 380-day average marketing period is a factor any investor should build into their holding period assumptions before committing capital to a purchase here.
Of the 20 comparable listings analysed for Swanton Morley, 15 (75%) are detached houses and 5 (25%) are semi-detached houses, a mix that pulls the £459,000 village average toward the higher end. Current examples illustrate the spread within each type: on Strickland Drive, a 3-bed semi-detached is listed at £240,000 and a 2-bed semi-detached at £250,000, while detached stock ranges from a 3-bed on Brandon Close at £300,000 (now SSTC) up to Greengate House Farm at £545,000.
Between those points sit two Rectory Road detached houses, a 4-bed at £425,000 and another 4-bed at £460,000, close to the village average. With detached properties making up three-quarters of the comparable stock, it is the availability and pricing of this type that most directly shapes where the overall £459,000 average sits.
At the time of this report, 48 properties are listed for sale in Swanton Morley, with 44 still actively available and 4 sold subject to contract. Among the current comparable listings, a 3-bed detached on Brandon Close is priced at £300,000 and has already gone SSTC after 51 days on the market, while a 4-bed detached on Rectory Road (NR20 4GU) remains for sale at £425,000 after 137 days.
Other current listings include a second Rectory Road property (NR20 4QA), a 4-bed detached at £460,000 only 24 days into marketing, alongside two semi-detached homes on Strickland Drive at £240,000 and £250,000. At the upper end, Greengate House Farm, a detached property on Greengate, is listed at £545,000 after 50 days on the market, illustrating the range of stock available across the village’s current 48 listings.
Land Registry records show six completed sales in Swanton Morley in recent months. 2 Town Street, a terraced property, sold for £174,000 on 8 June 2026. 18 Jasmine Walk, a semi-detached house, sold for £237,000 on 18 May 2026.
Among detached sales, 3 Home Farm Close completed at £547,500 on 24 April 2026, and 88 Greengate sold for £527,500 on 21 April 2026. 1 Lincoln Close, also detached, completed at £370,000 on 9 April 2026, while Hazeldene Barn on Woodgate achieved the highest recorded completed price of the group at £700,000 on 1 April 2026. These are confirmed completed transactions, distinct from the current SSTC and for-sale listings elsewhere in this report, which have not yet completed.
Swanton Morley’s average price of £459,000 sits £80,922 above the Norfolk county average of £378,078, a difference of 21.4%. That places the village firmly above the typical Norfolk price point, consistent with its mix of larger detached properties and its wide price range reaching up to £1,295,000.
On timing, the village compares more favourably. Swanton Morley’s average of 380 days on the market is 11 days fewer than the Norfolk average of 391 days, suggesting that despite commanding a higher price, homes here are not taking meaningfully longer to sell than the county norm, and in fact clear marginally faster.
Set against its closest neighbours, Swanton Morley is the more expensive option. North Elmham carries an average price of £335,000, a difference of £124,000 below Swanton Morley, with a SSTC rate of +15.0%. Billingford averages £380,000, a difference of £79,000, but records a notably higher SSTC rate of +30.0%, suggesting demand is converting to sales more readily there at present.
Dereham sits considerably lower at £170,500 average, a difference of £288,500 below Swanton Morley, though it shares an identical SSTC rate of +20.0% with this village. The comparison suggests Swanton Morley’s premium reflects its property type mix and price ceiling rather than any weakness in buyer demand relative to its neighbours.
Swanton Morley is a village in mid-Norfolk, and its current housing stock reflects a genuinely broad market rather than a single type of buyer. The price range on offer, from £220,000 to £1,295,000, spans compact semi-detached homes through to substantial detached properties, and that spread is a more reliable guide to the village’s character than any single average figure.
With detached houses making up three-quarters of the comparable listings analysed, family homes and larger rural properties form the backbone of what is currently available, alongside a smaller share of semi-detached stock offering a more accessible entry point. That mix, together with a marketing period that runs well above many nearby markets, points to a village where buyers take their time to find the right property rather than one geared toward quick turnover.
Selling in Swanton Morley currently means preparing for a marketing period that averages 380 days, longer than many sellers expect, and pricing with an understanding that 44 other properties are competing for buyer attention alongside yours. With 12.5 months of inventory on the market, standing out on presentation and pricing accuracy from the outset matters more here than in a faster-moving market.
The +20.0% SSTC rate is an encouraging sign that serious offers are being made, but sellers whose homes sit outside the more typical price bands, either well below £220,000 or well above £1,295,000, should expect their marketing period and negotiation dynamics to look somewhat different from the village average. Realistic pricing against genuinely comparable recent sales remains the most reliable route to a timely result.
Selling or buying in Swanton Morley calls for an agent who understands why a £300,000, 3 bed detached house on Brandon Close can go SSTC in 51 days while a £425,000, 4 bed detached property on Rectory Road can still be on the market at 137 days. Beyond the difference in size and price between the two, pricing precision and presentation both play a real part in how quickly a home attracts a serious offer, and that is exactly the kind of detail we track across the village’s current 48 listings.
We monitor Swanton Morley’s stock, SSTC activity, and completed Land Registry sales continuously, which means our valuations and negotiation advice are grounded in what is actually happening here, not a regional assumption applied to every village in mid-Norfolk. That local grounding is what separates a considered strategy from a guess.
The Ivybridge Collection maintains an active presence across this part of mid-Norfolk, and Swanton Morley is one of the villages we track closely as part of our regular reporting, following its 48 current listings, ongoing SSTC activity, and completed Land Registry sales as they happen.
For anyone considering a move in or out of Swanton Morley, we offer direct, locally informed valuation support based on this village’s own figures, not a generalised county average, and we are on hand to talk through what those figures mean for a specific property.
Given Swanton Morley’s current 12.5 months of inventory and 380-day average marketing period, our professional advice to sellers is to price against genuinely comparable recent sales, such as the £547,500 Home Farm Close sale or the £370,000 Lincoln Close sale, rather than against ambitious asking prices still sitting unsold elsewhere in the village. Overpricing in a market with this much active stock tends to extend time on market well beyond the average.
For buyers, our advice is to factor the +20.0% SSTC rate into timing decisions. While 44 properties remain available and there is no need to rush a viewing schedule, well-priced homes in this village are demonstrably converting to sales, and a considered but timely offer, backed by a mortgage agreement in principle, remains the soundest approach. Anyone with specific circumstances should seek a formal valuation and independent financial advice before committing to an offer or a listing price.
This report on Swanton Morley reflects data as of 1 August 2026, drawn from current market listings, completed Land Registry sold price records, and comparative figures across Norfolk’s 340 other tracked areas.

Figures are refreshed periodically to keep pace with new listings, newly agreed sales, and newly registered completions as they become available.
