A traditional Edwardian mid-terrace in the heart of Swindon offers a rare blend of period character and central convenience. The property’s bay window, high ceilings and separate living and dining rooms provide a spacious feel unusual for inner-urban terraces. It’s a practical purchase for first-time buyers, families, or investors who value location and potential.
The house is freehold, gas-heated with boiler and radiators, and includes off-street parking—an uncommon benefit so close to town. Nearby schools are mostly rated Good, local shops and public transport are within easy walking distance, and broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern living and rental demand.
Buyers should be clear about the trade-offs. The plot is small with a modest rear yard; the home measures around 883 sq ft and uses solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002, and the EPC is D. The neighbourhood records higher crime and sits in a very deprived area classification, which affects resale and rental perceptions.
For those willing to carry out practical updates—improved insulation, heating tuning, cosmetic refresh—the house presents clear upside. Its period features and central position make it suitable for owners seeking an affordable family home near amenities, or investors aiming for steady rental income after modest refurbishment.
