Summary - 116 ERMIN STREET SWINDON SN3 4NQ
Chain free freehold 17th-century mid-terrace cottage
Step into a rare 17th-century mid-terrace cottage on Stratton’s historic Roman road. The house retains striking original features — exposed stone walls, timber beams and a large inglenook fireplace — that create a warm, characterful living space. The layout includes a large lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, utility and an outside toilet, with a generous garden offering both courtyard and grassed areas for family life.
The property is chain free and offered freehold, making the purchase straightforward. Practical details include permit parking available nearby (Methodist church) at a cost of approximately £240 per year or monthly payments. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and the local area is affluent with good primary and secondary schools within reach.
There are important renovation and compliance points to note. Loft rooms and Velux windows were installed around 1971 with no available building regulation documentation; these areas may require checks or retrospective approval. The current master bedroom was originally two rooms, so reinstating three separate bedrooms would need a stud wall. The cottage’s low ceilings and period features may not suit all modern tastes and fittings such as the coal gas fires will need appropriate servicing or updating.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and potential: families wanting space and a garden in a well-regarded pocket of Swindon, or buyers prepared to carry out sympathetic updates. Early viewings are recommended to appreciate the cottage’s charm and to assess the scope for improvement.
