This extended three-bedroom terraced house in Old Town, Swindon, is arranged over three floors and suits growing families seeking flexible living. The heart of the home is a large open-plan kitchen/diner with modern fittings, plenty of natural light and direct access to a south-facing rear garden. A useful utility room, downstairs WC and an outbuilding fitted with power and WiFi add practical space for home working or hobbies.
The layout includes a ground-floor sitting room (which can double as bedroom four), a lounge, first-floor master and second bedroom, and a third-floor loft bedroom with eaves storage. The property has been improved and newly renovated in parts — contemporary kitchen cabinetry and double glazing are highlights — while a mid-20th century fireplace in the living room gives period character.
Practical advantages include off-street parking potential via the vehicle lane at the rear, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, freehold tenure and low local crime. Local schools and community amenities are close by, and broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting remote working.
Notable drawbacks are the single family bathroom serving three bedrooms and the garden is modest in size, only partly available for parking. While much has been updated, some rooms retain dated features and buyers wanting a fully modern finish may want to budget for further cosmetic updating. Overall, this is a sizable, flexible family home with sensible improvements and clear potential for further personalisation.
