This mid-terrace, two-double-bedroom house in central Swindon offers a straightforward, affordable entry into homeownership. At around 899 sq ft, the layout includes two reception rooms, an enclosed rear garden and traditional features such as a decorative fireplace and solid brick construction from the early 20th century.
The property is well placed for town-centre amenities, the train station and a range of good primary and secondary schools, making it practical for daily commuting and family life. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working, while mains gas heating and double glazing (installed before 2002) provide familiar, standard comforts.
There is clear scope to add value through refurbishment: rooms are modest in size and some updating is needed to modernise finishes and improve insulation. Buyers should note the area records very high crime levels and the house is built with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation — both factors to consider for security and running costs.
Ideal for first-time buyers wanting a central, affordable home or investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let, this freehold mid-terrace requires practical updating rather than major structural work. The small plot and on-street parking reflect its inner-city location.
