This tidy two-bedroom mid-terrace in Gorse Hill offers a compact, low-maintenance home ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The ground floor has an open-plan living/dining room and a conservatory that brings additional light and practical space; a fitted kitchen and modern bathroom complete comfortable daily living. A single garage and driveway provide parking and storage that many nearby mid-terrace houses lack.
The property is practically presented with double glazing and gas central heating from a boiler and radiators. Local amenities are within walking distance — schools, shops, doctors, a pharmacy and good bus links — and Swindon town centre and the train station are easily reachable. The rear garden is small and simple to maintain, suitable for low-upkeep outdoor use.
Be aware this home sits in a very deprived wider area with a “hard-pressed ethnic mix” classification and average local crime levels; buyers wanting quieter or more affluent neighbourhoods should note this. The plot is small and internal space is compact (approx. 622 sq ft, three rooms counted), and the EPC is D, so energy improvements could raise long-term running costs and comfort. Overall, it’s a straightforward, affordable entry point to the local market with scope for modest upgrades and rental potential.
