Summary - 20, Reading Street, SWINDON SN1 5BS
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Two-bedroom, chain-free freehold near station and town centre.
Grade II listed Victorian end terrace with period features
Tucked in Swindon’s historic Railway Village, this Grade II listed two-bedroom end terrace blends period character with practical city living. The house offers a generous sitting room, a modern kitchen, and two double bedrooms across a compact footprint, making it a straightforward home for a couple or small family and an attractive rental prospect for investors.
Its central location is a major asset: a short walk to Swindon railway station with direct London services, the town centre, Designer Outlet Village and local parks. The property is freehold and chain free, so completion can be straightforward for a buyer ready to move or let quickly.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints. Listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs; some exterior stonework and window frames need minor maintenance. The plot and garden are small and the wider neighbourhood records higher crime and area deprivation, factors to weigh for owner-occupiers. EPC rating E is indicative of potential energy improvements.
For first-time buyers and investors, this is a chance to secure a characterful, centrally located freehold home with clear scope to add value through sensitive, permitted upgrades. The combination of historical charm, spacious principal reception, and immediate proximity to transport offers practical benefits alongside heritage appeal.
