This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Stratton, Swindon, is presented for sale at £250,000. The property is located on Whitelands Road and benefits from a relatively convenient location for access to local amenities and transport links. Swindon Railway Station is within reasonable distance, offering travel links to various parts of the UK. Schools such as Horizons College, Grange Junior School and Mountford Manor Primary School are in relatively close proximity. However, it’s worth noting that the Ofsted ratings for the nearby schools aren’t all high.

The property itself, though appearing structurally sound from the exterior images, shows an interior that requires modernisation. The décor and fittings appear dated throughout. Buyers should budget for renovations and updating of the kitchen and bathrooms. The presence of a garden is a plus, but the exact size is unclear and from the photos it seems modest in size.

The asking price seems competitive within the context of similar properties on the market in the same area. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of renovations and factor in the need for upgrading. Ultimately, the property’s value will depend on the buyer’s perspective on the amount of refurbishment required and their willingness to undertake such work.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
