A centrally located Victorian mid-terrace in Swindon town centre, offered chain-free and ready for immediate purchase. The two-storey layout provides two reception rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms across about 831 sq ft, plus a small front garden. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the house practical for modern living or short-term lettings.
For investors the current rental achievement is £1,200 pcm, equating to a reported 7.2% gross yield. The town-centre location gives easy access to shops, leisure facilities and public transport, supporting good tenant demand in this area.
The property retains period character — red brick frontage, bay and sash-style windows and a mid-century fireplace with a wood-burning stove — but requires updating. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and general modernisation.
Suitable for investors or first-time buyers willing to refurbish, this home offers clear potential to add value but is not a turn-key modern property. No flood risk is recorded and tenure is freehold with a low council tax band, simplifying ownership costs.
