Description
This detached two-bedroom bungalow in Haydon Wick provides approximately 844 sq ft of accommodation, together with a detached garage and driveway parking. The current layout has been altered to create one bedroom and a separate dining room, which was originally the second bedroom and could be returned to bedroom use. A front hall leads to the main reception room, which has dual-aspect windows and a feature fireplace. The kitchen has fitted units and a side door, while the dining room connects to a sun room overlooking the garden. There is also a double bedroom with a bay window and a shower room with a walk-in shower, basin and WC.
Outside, the property has a rear garden, a large driveway and a detached garage. The listing identifies scope for a rear extension, subject to planning consent. Local shops, schools and everyday amenities are nearby, with the Orbital Shopping Park and road links to Swindon town centre, the A419 and M4 within reach. The existing layout and potential for further changes may suit buyers considering a project.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This detached bungalow offers a usable canvas for a light cosmetic refresh: the photographed interiors have older carpets, textured finishes and dated fittings, while the kitchen and shower room also look ready for updating. The dining room was originally the second bedroom and could be reinstated, giving useful flexibility; the sun room, driveway and detached garage add to the appeal, and the established garden has room for a tidy-up.
The main constraint is the price rather than the scale of the work. At £280,000, the asking price is about 12% above the local £/sq ft average, and adding the £6,000–£15,000 refurb range leaves the purchase-plus-refurb total stretched against the local benchmark for this floor area. That comparison is with current local average value, not a forecast of what the property might be worth after renovation, so the numbers make this a weaker-value project despite its practical layout and scope.
Key opportunities
- Refresh the older carpets, textured finishes and fittings across the usable interior for a straightforward cosmetic uplift.
- Reinstate the dining room as the second bedroom, subject to confirming the layout and dimensions.
- Make the most of the sun room, driveway, detached garage and established garden as practical features of the home.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the £6,000–£15,000 refurbishment range puts purchase-plus-works costs above the local average-value benchmark for this floor area; that benchmark is not a post-renovation valuation.
