This mid-terraced three-bedroom house on Ferndale Road is a practical entry-level purchase or buy-to-let near Swindon town centre. Internally the layout is traditional with two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and family bathroom across two storeys, offering straightforward living space of around 1,128 sq ft. A small front garden, rear garden and garage add useful outdoor and storage space in a compact plot.
Stand-out features include roof-mounted solar panels, double-glazed timber windows and good digital connectivity—fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—making the house ready for modern daily life. Nearby Ferndale Primary and several secondary schools rated Good, plus local shops and frequent buses on Gorse Hill high street, suit families or tenants. Investors are given a clear headline: achievable rent around £1,250 pcm (illustrative).
The property is solidly built (c.1900–1929) with original character such as bay windows and cornice detail, but it also shows its age. The kitchen is dated; the home would benefit from modernisation to maximise value. Walls are solid brick with no known cavity insulation; buyers should consider thermal upgrades and confirm glazing/roof insulation dates. Internal inspection is recommended to assess finish and any further works required.
Practical positives—garage, garden, solar panels, freehold tenure and low council tax—are balanced by the need for refurbishment in parts and the small plot size typical of terraced streets. For first-time buyers wanting an affordable family home or investors seeking a central, rentable property, this house offers a solid base with clear improvement potential.
