2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Quick completion auction sale with strong scope to add value and personalise.
Two bedrooms with generous front-aspect master
Set just a short walk from Swindon town centre and transport links, this two-bedroom period terrace offers clear scope to create a comfortable home or a rental investment. The ground floor opens into a light open-plan lounge and dining area, with a separate kitchen that leads onto a rear garden with lane access — useful for bins and services. A recently fitted boiler and an updated shower room reduce immediate costs for new owners.
Upstairs provides two well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous front-aspect master room with dual windows. The property retains Edwardian/Victorian character in the brick exterior and sash-style windows but needs internal modernisation to reach contemporary standards; cosmetic and layout improvements will add significant value. The long lease (approximately 862 years remaining) is a practical advantage over short leases.
This sale is via the Modern Method of Auction and is offered chain-free. Buyers should note the Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 inc. VAT) and the 56-day completion period; consider mortgage lender advice and factor fees into affordability calculations. The property’s location provides excellent connectivity to Swindon station and local amenities, making it suitable for first-time buyers wanting a project or investors seeking refurbishment potential.
Be candid about the area: local crime rates are higher than average and the immediate neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices. These factors affect resale and rental perceptions and should be weighed against the low purchase price and improvement potential. Viewing is recommended to assess scope and budget for works before bidding at auction.
