Spacious family home near countryside with garage and loft potential.
4 double bedrooms including main with ensuite and loft room access
Detached house with integral garage plus driveway parking
Paved rear patio garden with mature borders; decent plot size
Double glazing fitted post-2002 and mains gas boiler with radiators
Built before 1900 with solid brick walls; likely no wall insulation
Average broadband; excellent mobile signal across the village
Higher-than-average local crime rate — consider security measures
Council Tax Band E (above average) and some modernisation needed
This four-bedroom detached home sits in the canal-side village of Swindon, offering flexible family accommodation across multiple levels. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite and stairs to a spacious loft room; a further bedroom occupies the top floor with far-reaching countryside views. Ground-floor living is generous with a large living room, separate dining/snug areas and a kitchen-diner opening to a paved garden patio.
Practical strengths include an integral garage with driveway parking, double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. The plot is a decent size for outdoor entertaining and low-maintenance paved beds and borders. Local amenities are within easy reach — village shop, primary school, canal paths and good countryside access — making this home well suited to family life.
Important matters to note: the house is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls and no built-in wall insulation assumed, which may affect running costs. Broadband speeds are average and the immediate area records higher-than-average crime levels; buyers should consider security measures. Council Tax band is E, above average for the area.
There is clear scope to personalise and modernise parts of the house while keeping the characterful features such as exposed beams and roll-top baths. For families seeking spacious, characterful accommodation in a quiet village setting with good local schools and countryside on the doorstep, this property offers strong potential — but buyers should factor in possible upgrade work for insulation and any security improvements.
