A central Victorian terraced house with clear investment potential, located within walking distance of Swindon town centre and the train station. The property is freehold, has an enclosed rear garden and attic conversion, and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for rentals or short-term lets.
The house requires significant renovation: photos and descriptions show dated finishes, peeling plaster/damp, and worn fixtures. Energy performance is modest (visible EPC rating E) and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation, so buyers should factor in energy-efficiency upgrades and possible structural or remedial works.
Practical advantages include mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (unknown install date), on-street parking, and nearby amenities and schools rated Good. The area has high crime levels and an urban setting with young ethnic communities, which may influence tenant demand and rental pricing.
This property suits an investor or an owner-occupier prepared for a renovation project. There’s realistic scope to add value through internal modernisation, insulation improvements and cosmetic refurbishment, but budget and timing should allow for remedial and energy upgrades.
