Summary - 88 EASTCOTT HILL SWINDON SN1 3JF
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable central starter home with refurbishment potential and private courtyard.
No onward chain, freehold two-bedroom terraced house
Sold with no onward chain, this two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace sits within easy walking distance of Swindon town centre and Old Town. The ground floor features an open-plan living area flowing to a rear kitchen, with a family bathroom also on the ground floor. Upstairs are two double bedrooms offering practical, well-proportioned space for a first home or rental unit.
The property is freehold and about 710 sq ft, with a private courtyard-style garden that is very small and low-maintenance. Useful modern comforts include double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — handy for working from home or letting to tenants.
Notable considerations: the house was built between 1900–1929 with solid brick walls and assumed no wall insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be required. The area is classified as deprived with very high crime levels locally, which may affect family buyers and rental premiums. The house is suitable for buyers seeking a central location and refurbishment potential rather than a move-in-perfect finish.
For first-time buyers it offers an affordable central base with scope to add value; for investors it provides a straightforward, chain-free acquisition near good schools and local amenities. Factor in likely improvement costs for insulation, updating and cosmetic modernization when assessing overall budget.
