Auction lot — refurbishment project with parking, solar panels and good commuter links..
Three bedrooms plus substantial garden room (additional living space)
Offered for sale by online auction with a guide price of £110,000+, this three-bedroom mid-terrace provides a practical, value-led opportunity for a first-time buyer or investor. The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and roof-mounted solar panels, helping running costs. There is off-street parking for one to two cars and a decent rear garden with a brick-built store.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, living room, kitchen/dining room and a substantial garden room on the ground floor; three bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor. The garden room adds useful extra living space or rental potential. The plot depth and overall footprint are typical for a suburban terrace and the property sits within walking distance of town-centre amenities and good local schools.
Buyers should note the property will be sold at auction and is offered with a guide price only. Successful bidders must pay a 10% deposit on exchange plus a buyers’ fee (likely £1,200 inc VAT at or above £100,000) and any special-sale charges in the legal pack. The house shows signs of external neglect — overgrown front and rear gardens — and will need internal refurbishment to maximise value.
The surrounding area is mixed and described as challenged; local crime levels are above average and the neighbourhood scores on area deprivation measures. This reduces appeal for some buyers but can also create opportunity for investors seeking a renovation project near Swindon and with good commuter links to the M4. Viewings and the legal pack should be reviewed before bidding.
