The list price of £500,000 seems reasonable in the context of other nearby properties and the current market conditions in Swindon and the surrounding areas, but it may be somewhat high due to the listed condition and the absence of precise square footage data. Comparable properties in the area vary in price and type. The age and character of the thatched cottage could attract a premium price, but the need for potential renovations and the unknown size of the plot might be factored in by some buyers.

The property shows some signs of age and may require some modernisation. The thatched roof is a charming feature but also represents a potential maintenance cost. Some of the interior finishes appear dated (bathrooms, for example), indicating that improvements might be needed to fully modernise the home. While it’s not in disrepair, some updating would elevate the condition score.

The property is located in Badbury, a village on the edge of Swindon. While Swindon offers good transport links (8.62km to the train station), Badbury itself appears to be a quieter, more rural setting. The proximity to several well-regarded primary schools (Chiseldon Primary and Wanborough Primary are rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted) adds to its appeal for families. However, the relative remoteness from Swindon’s town centre may be a drawback for some buyers.

The property possesses a noticeable garden, which appears to be reasonably sized. The presence of mature trees and landscaping indicates it is well-established. The large triple garage also suggests more space than the average property. However, there is no precise land size provided, and there’s not a substantial amount of outdoor space relative to the value of property in this area.
