Located in central Swindon, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable, chain-free entry into homeownership. The house retains classic terrace proportions across two floors with a small rear garden and practical layout — living room, separate dining room and fitted kitchen. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place for everyday comfort.
The property suits first-time buyers or investors looking for a manageable project with clear upside. At roughly 794 sq ft, the home is average-sized and ready for updating: cosmetic modernisation and some energy-efficiency improvements would significantly increase comfort and value. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby shops, cafes and transport links make city-centre living convenient.
Be clear about the material facts: the home is leasehold and in a deprived, high-crime area, which may affect resale and insurance. The solid brick walls were built before modern insulation standards — adding insulation is likely needed for long-term energy savings. On-street parking only, and the exterior and some internal areas are dated and will benefit from renovation.
Nearby schools are mostly rated Good, and local amenities include retail parks, restaurants and leisure facilities. For buyers seeking an affordable central base with renovation potential or a buy-to-let opportunity close to transport and services, this house represents clear value — provided you factor in upgrade costs and the neighbourhood context.
