Summary - 52 Wellington House, Wellington Street SN1 1EB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable town-centre one-bed with refurbishment potential and excellent transport links.
366 sq ft one-bedroom flat, small footprint
A compact one-bedroom flat in Swindon town centre, offered as a leasehold with 366 sq ft of living space. The building is relatively recent (constructed 2007–2011) and benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and excellent mobile/broadband connectivity — handy for commuters and city-based workers. The property includes a small balcony and city-centre amenities on the doorstep: train and bus stations, shops, cafes and restaurants.
This apartment is priced to reflect its size and condition, making it suitable for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable city base or an investor after a low-entry purchase in a busy rental market. Note the heating is electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can affect running costs. Service charge and ground rent are material ongoing costs (approx. £1,882 service charge and £325 ground rent per year).
There are clear maintenance issues to address: visible water damage and mould in the living area indicate repair work is required before moving in or re-letting. The flat’s small footprint and traditional layout limit extension potential, so value-add is mainly cosmetic and functional improvements rather than structural change. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with high local crime rates, which is an important consideration for owner-occupiers or tenants.
In short: a low-price, small central flat with good transport links and refurbishment potential, balanced by notable repair needs, electric heating, significant service charges and a challenging local context. Suitable for buyers who prioritise location and a low purchase price and are prepared to manage repairs and ongoing leasehold costs.
