2 bed semi-detached house for sale

Chives Way, Swindon SN2

The little house with a seriously lovely garden...

Some homes just have that feeling about them. You know the one. You walk through the front garden, step inside, and immediately start imagining where the coffee machine will go, where the dog will dry off after a rainy walk and where you'll sit on a summer evening with a glass of something cold.

This is one of those homes.


Tucked away in Woodhall Park, this beautifully presented two-bedroom semi-detached house has been tastefully modernised by the current owner, but it is the outside space that really steals the show.

Let's start at the front...

The immaculately presented front garden gives this home some serious kerb appeal, with a couple of steps leading you up to the front door. It's lush, leafy and clearly loved, giving you a pretty good idea of what's waiting around the back.

Inside, the entrance hall is small but surprisingly useful. There's space to kick off your shoes, hang up the coats and, importantly, somewhere for the dog to have a little post-walk towel-down without dragging half the garden through the house. Every home needs one of those spaces!

The living room is bright, welcoming and beautifully finished, with a door leading straight out into the garden. And honestly, that connection is one of the things we love about this house. Open the door on a summer morning and the garden becomes an extension of the living space.

At the front of the house you'll find the modern kitchen, smartly finished and ready to get on with the important business of cooking, chatting and pretending you've only popped in for one biscuit.

Then there's the garden...

And this is where things get rather special.

The current owner has created a beautifully landscaped space that feels far more established and characterful than you might expect. There's a small patio area that's just begging for a morning coffee, a lazy Sunday breakfast or a barbecue when the weather finally remembers what season it is.

Beyond that, a raised lawn gives you a lovely patch of green, while the borders are packed with flowers, plants and vegetable growing areas. It's colourful, productive and full of life.

There's also newly laid side path access, making getting into and around the garden wonderfully practical.

Upstairs, there are two modern bedrooms, both presented to the same smart standard as the rest of the home, along with a contemporary family bathroom.

And then there's the practical stuff...

Two allocated parking spaces mean the daily hunt for somewhere to leave the car can stay firmly in the past.
Hallelujah.

Location

Chives Way sits within Woodhall Park, in Haydon Wick, giving you a rather useful combination of a residential setting and easy access to the wider North Swindon area.

For the weekly shop, Orbital Shopping Park is close by on Thamesdown Drive, with Asda, Marks & Spencer, Lidl, Boots and a selection of cafés, restaurants and other everyday essentials all gathered together. There are also regular bus services linking the Orbital Shopping Park with Swindon and surrounding North Swindon neighbourhoods.

For families, there are several schools nearby, including Haydon Wick Primary School, Haydonleigh Primary School and St Francis CofE Primary School, with Nova Hreod Academy also serving the wider area. As always, school admissions and catchments should be checked directly with the relevant authority.

When you want some fresh air, you're spoilt for choice too. Mouldon Hill Country Park is nearby, with woodland, grassland and open countryside providing plenty of opportunity for walks and getting out of the car and away from the screens for a while. The wider Haydon Wick and North Swindon area also has plenty of green spaces and walking routes woven through the neighbourhood.

Healthcare is close at hand too, with Home Ground Surgery on Thames Avenue in Haydon Wick and Crossroads Surgery on Cricklade Road providing local gp services.

And if you're commuting, Swindon is particularly well placed. The M4 provides east-west connections via Junction 15 and Junction 16, while the A419 gives access north towards Cirencester and the wider Cotswolds. Swindon railway station is also on the Great Western Main Line, giving you direct services towards London Paddington, Bristol, Bath and South Wales.

So whether your daily routine involves school runs, supermarket dashes, a train into London or simply escaping for a walk, this is a location that makes everyday life rather easy.

A little word for the investors...

This isn't just a lovely home to live in. It could make a pretty compelling rental too.

Based on the current presentation and style of the property, we would anticipate rental potential in the region of £1,250 to £1,300 per calendar month, subject of course to market conditions and the final agreed tenancy.

That makes this an interesting proposition for an investor looking for a well-presented two-bedroom home in an established North Swindon location, as well as someone looking for somewhere to call home.
