Description
This four-bedroom detached house occupies an elevated position on a generous plot in Old Town, Swindon. The accommodation has large rooms, and bedroom three opens onto a balcony. A double garage and driveway provide parking for multiple cars, with established gardens to the front and rear.
The property has been in the same family for decades and is now described as requiring updating. The existing layout may offer scope to create a fifth bedroom, subject to checking how this could be achieved. Old Town shops, cafés and restaurants are nearby, with access to Swindon Station, the A419 and M4. The house is freehold, has an EPC rating of D and is in Council Tax Band G.

Confidence: MEDIUM
This is a substantial Old Town project with real scope to make the most of its generous plot, spacious rooms, double garage and driveway. The dated finishes offer a clear canvas for updating, including the kitchen and bathroom, refreshing flooring and décor, and tackling the established rear garden. The listing also points to potential for a fifth bedroom, while the balcony adds a distinctive feature.
The numbers are the main restraint: at £750,000, the asking price is above the local £/sqf average, and adding the £30,000–£55,000 refurbishment range leaves the purchase-plus-works cost stretched against local benchmarks for a home of this floor area. That comparison is with current local average value, not a forecast of the property’s value after renovation. The photos show the house appearing broadly intact, with no obvious major roof failure or structural movement.
Key opportunities
- Update the dated kitchen, bathroom, flooring and finishes to give the spacious accommodation a more contemporary feel.
- Make better use of the generous plot, including clearing and maintaining the established rear garden.
- Explore the advertised scope for a fifth bedroom; the double garage, multi-car driveway and bedroom balcony add useful flexibility.
Key risks
- At the asking price, adding the stated refurbishment range leaves purchase-plus-works costs stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area; this is not a post-renovation value forecast.
