We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A UNIQUE LIVE/WORK OPPORTUNITY – RESIDENTIAL & COMMERCIAL SPACE A truly unique opportunity has come to market on the popular Ferndale Road in Gorse Hill, Swindon, offering the increasingly rare combination of a three-bedroom end-of-terrace home with a self-contained commercial unit.
Ideal for aspiring business owners, investors or those looking to combine their home and business under one roof, this versatile property provides excellent potential for both residential living and commercial use.
The residential accommodation comprises a well-proportioned three-bedroom, one-bathroom home.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a spacious living room featuring an attractive original fireplace, creating a characterful focal point.
To the rear is a modern, well-sized kitchen with ample workspace, storage and dedicated dining space, while access is provided directly into the rear courtyard garden.
The first floor provides three generously sized double bedrooms, with the master bedroom positioned at the front of the property above the commercial premises.
The remaining two bedrooms are situated to the rear and are also well proportioned. All three bedrooms are served by a well-sized family bathroom.
The real appeal of this property is the commercial unit positioned directly on Ferndale Road, providing excellent visibility and a high level of passing foot traffic.
The unit benefits from its own central heating, consumer unit and plumbing, helping to keep the commercial and residential elements separate.
Beyond the rear courtyard is a substantial two-storey garage and storage area, offering an exceptional degree of versatility.
This could be utilised by a business as warehouse, storage or office space, or potentially as a vehicle workshop, subject to any necessary permissions.
Alternatively, it could simply be used as extensive garage and vehicle storage space for the residential property.
The commercial premises are also understood to have potential rental income of approximately £900–£1,100 per calendar month, making this an attractive proposition for those looking to generate an additional income stream alongside owning their home.
Alternatively, an owner-occupier could establish and operate their own business directly from the premises, eliminating the need to rent separate commercial space.
Located on the popular and well-established Ferndale Road, the property is ideally positioned within walking distance of local schools, shops and transport links, while the level of passing foot traffic provides excellent exposure for a wide range of potential businesses.
Whether you're an entrepreneur looking for a home and business premises in one, an investor seeking a property with additional income potential, or someone looking for a substantial amount of flexible storage and commercial space, this is an opportunity that should not be overlooked.
Viewings are highly recommended to appreciate the size, versatility and unique potential this property has to offer.
