Summary - 11, RODBOURNE ROAD SN2 2AG
1 bed 1 bath Block of Apartments
Two-income property near Swindon station with strong headline yield.
Freehold mixed-use building with retail and one-bedroom flat
A mixed-use freehold on Rodbourne Road offering immediate rental potential and strong headline yield. The ground floor retail unit has prominent street frontage and is currently vacant, allowing for rapid re-letting or owner-occupation. Above is a self-contained one-bedroom flat with proven local rental appeal, creating two distinct income streams from a single purchase.
Financially this asset is aimed at investors seeking above-average returns in Swindon; advertised gross income implies a c.9% gross yield. Excellent local connectivity — a short walk to Swindon town centre, Designer Outlet and the railway station — supports tenant demand for both commercial and residential uses.
There are material location and condition considerations to price realistically. The immediate area is classified as deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate, which may affect tenant mix and rental growth. Interior descriptions note dated decor and potential damp in places; the vacant commercial unit will likely require fit-out or refurbishment before re-letting.
This property suits investors prepared to manage short-term works and lettings to unlock steady income. The freehold mixed-use layout gives flexibility: keep both tenancies, refurbish and re-let, or convert retail usage where permitted. Assess local management costs and mitigation for area-related risks before purchase.
