Description

This townhouse presents a promising opportunity for renovation and investment, ideally located between the historic charm of Old Town and the amenities of Swindon Town Centre. The property features two spacious double bedrooms, a lounge, a separate dining room, and a ground floor bathroom suite, providing a solid foundation for modern updates. With gas radiator central heating and uPVC double glazing throughout, the essential infrastructure is in place to ensure comfort and efficiency. The enclosed rear garden is low maintenance, allowing for easy outdoor enjoyment or potential landscaping enhancements. While the property requires some updating, this enables new owners or investors to add their personal touch and increase its value. Its prime location near both town centres also suggests strong rental potential or resale opportunities once renovations are completed.
