This compact mid-terrace in Gorse Hill offers an affordable entry into Swindon’s market with immediate scope for improvement. The property is chain-free and freehold, making purchase straightforward for first-time buyers or investors seeking a value-add renovation.
Accommodation includes two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a rear bathroom with separate WC. The layout is traditional and liveable while renovations are planned, so you can refurbish in stages. Heating is a mix of mains-gas boiler (currently disconnected) and wall-mounted electric heaters; double glazing is present but insulation appears minimal.
Externally the low-maintenance paved rear garden and nearby public car park keep running costs low, though parking is primarily on-street. The wider area is a busy urban suburb with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, local schools rated Good, and many nearby amenities. Note the area records higher crime and is relatively deprived, which is an important consideration for families or long-term owners.
Overall this house is a pragmatic purchase: modest living space with clear renovation potential, suited to buyers who want a lower-cost home to improve or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in an accessible town location.
