Summary - 56 CROMBEY STREET SWINDON SN1 5QW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Ideal first home or buy-to-let close to shops and station.
Two double bedrooms and two reception rooms suitable for flexible living
This mid-terrace home in central Swindon offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and an enclosed rear garden — a compact, practical layout suited to first-time buyers or landlords. The freehold tenure and proximity to the town centre, train station and local amenities make day-to-day life straightforward and desirable for commuters.
The property is solid-brick and built circa 1900–1929, with double glazing fitted before 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The interior is habitable but dated; there is clear potential to increase value through targeted refurbishment such as insulation upgrades, modern kitchen and bathroom improvements, and cosmetic refreshes throughout.
Buyers should note material downsides: the area records very high crime levels, on-street parking only, a small garden/plot, and glazing/insulation that may not meet modern efficiency standards. For investors, the urban location and decent broadband/mobile connectivity support lettings demand, but factor in potential remedial and security-related costs.
Overall this is a straightforward, affordable freehold purchase offering immediate occupation or rental income with scope for uplift through renovation. It will suit purchasers seeking a central, compact property to improve and personalise rather than a turnkey, high-spec home.
