This two-bedroom mid-terraced house on Rodbourne Road offers straightforward living close to Swindon town centre and the Designer Outlet Village. The property is freehold, set over two storeys with an overall size described as large (approx. 913 sq ft). It benefits from two allocated off-street parking spaces — a rare convenience for the area — plus a private, low-maintenance rear garden. Council tax band is low and the home sits in a no-flood-risk area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
The house suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a property with period character and immediate occupancy. The internal layout provides an open-plan living/dining area, a fitted kitchen and an updated bathroom, with two well-lit bedrooms upstairs. There are solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), mains gas boiler and radiator heating, and double glazing of unknown installation date — practical for now but with scope for energy-efficiency upgrades.
Notable negatives are the local context: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the wider area has pockets of deprivation. The building is pre-1900 with solid-wall construction, so further thermal improvement work (cavity/solid-wall insulation) may be needed to reduce running costs. Some photos and notes indicate parts of the house may benefit from modernisation or refurbishment to maximise value. Overall, this is a convenient, well-located starter home or rental asset with clear potential for targeted investment in energy and cosmetic improvements.
