Set in central Swindon, this chain-free mid-terrace offers a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership or a central rental opportunity. The layout is familiar and practical: front living room, separate dining area, kitchen with garden access and two first-floor bedrooms (one double, one single). A larger-than-average garage is a particular asset in this location.
Practical recent upgrades include a brand-new combi boiler installed in 2025, delivering improved heating efficiency and hot water reliability. The property is freehold and of traditional construction (circa 1900–1929) with double glazing already in place, making it immediately liveable for a first-time buyer or suitable as a rental for professionals.
Be aware of a few material considerations. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and sits within a deprived area classification, which will affect resale and rental profiles. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the glazing predates 2002, so further insulation or energy-improvement works could be needed to reduce running costs and improve comfort. External storage and garden areas show wear and would benefit from refurbishment.
Overall, this two-bedroom terrace represents a pragmatic central-Swindon purchase: good location, low running surprises thanks to the new boiler and garage, but with clear scope for energy upgrades and cosmetic improvement to maximise value or rentability.
