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
The One: where character meets corner-plot potential.
Positioned within the ever-popular Old Walcot area of Swindon sits this 1930’s bay fronted semi-detached home that’s absolutely packed with opportunity.
Corner plot position, extended footprint, detached double garage and scope to grow even further (subject to planning) - this is the kind of home buyers wait for in this postcode. First impressions?
Strong. Established greenery leading up to the storm porch gives that proper traditional family-home feel before you’ve even stepped inside.
The welcoming hallway sets the tone, leading through to the bay fronted lounge/diner complete with open fireplace - cosy evenings and Sunday lounging, sorted.
To the rear, the home opens up beautifully with a fitted kitchen flowing straight into the heavily extended family room overlooking the garden.
It’s got all the bones for that dream open-plan lifestyle setup buyers are chasing. There’s also a handy utility room and ground floor shower room keeping everyday family life nice and practical.
Upstairs offers three bedrooms, with both double rooms benefitting from built-in storage, alongside the family bathroom.
Loved and well maintained over the years, but ready for someone to modernise and truly make their mark. Potential? Loads of it. Outside is where this one really separates itself.
The corner plot gives serious flexibility with side extension potential screaming future family goals.
The rear garden offers a spacious patio area for summer hosting, plus a vegetable patch which could easily become the summer house, outdoor bar or kids zone you’ve been Pinterest-saving for months.
Parking? Covered. Off road parking to the rear via bi-folding double gates plus a detached double garage giving additional parking, workshop space or the ultimate man cave setup. Rare for Old Walcot.
Location wise - this postcode always delivers. Old Walcot has that established residential feel buyers love, while still keeping you moments from Old Town’s cafés, bars, restaurants and social scene.
Local schools, shops and transport links all close by, plus the County Ground just around the corner for backing the mighty Robins. Offered to the market with no onward chain.
Ready to unlock the potential? We think this one could be special. EPC Rating: E Parking - Double garage
