Have you ever dreamed of renovating your own property like the hit show Old House New Home?

Well, Swindon has some hidden gems with bags of potential just waiting to be released. 

The wonder of renovation is that you can really let your imagination flow - whether you're after an ultra-contemporary pad to stand out in suburbia or a property as unique as you - practically nothing is off limits, subject to planning of course. 

Here are five properties you could flip in and around Swindon: 

Beech Avenue, Swindon SN2

£180,000

Swindon Advertiser:

This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Beech Avenue is available for just £180,000.

In need of modernisation both internally and externally the property sits on a good-sized plot boasting a substantial front and rear garden.

The old-school property has three good-sized bedrooms but desperately needs bringing into the 21st century.

This home is of BISF construction so not all mortgage lenders will approve buyers.

Swindon Advertiser:

It has previously been extended to the rear and is described as offering versatile living space.

However you could knock through the kitchen and living room to create a much brighter space. Add  some bi-fold doors out to the garden and you could have you own beach-inspired paradise.

 It is offered on the market with no onward chain.

Highworth Road, Stratton St. Margaret, SN3

£500,000

Swindon Advertiser:

This five-bedroom detached house is on the market for a whopping £500,000.

Set over two floors, this property boasts well proportioned accommodation and is offered to the market for sale with no onward chain.

The vast property is in need of some TLC externally and renovation internally.

A sympathetic remodelling that keeps the integrity of the building's history and character would create an impressive home. 

Swindon Advertiser:

The property boasts stunning original character features including corniced ceilings, parquet and tiled flooring as well as stunning fireplaces - this really is a hidden gem. 

The property has five good-sized bedrooms and three reception rooms. Outside there are outbuildings, a garage and a driveway.

Ladymead, Cricklade SN6

£325,000

Swindon Advertiser:

Located in Cricklade this vast semi-detached home is available on the market for £325,000. 

The seven-bedroom family home has been extended and added to over the years however it lacks continuity which the new-owners could bring to the property.

Swindon Advertiser:

With cosmetic refurbishment internally you could really take this property to the next level - replacing PVC window surrounds with something more unified could give the living room a new lease of life.

With three reception rooms, four bathrooms and a good-sized kitchen this corner-plot property is not short on space.

Outside there is a good sized garden and an insulated timber home office.

High Street, Cricklade, SN6

£440,000

Swindon Advertiser:

This gorgeous family home in Cricklade has been really well-loved and looked after by its current owners.

Similarly to the last property this home is ready to move straight into however there is so much more that could be done to elevate this home. 

Swindon Advertiser:

The detached family home has five bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms.

Dated and in need of a face lift this property could be renovated internally to bring a new lease of life to this tired home. 

Sitting on a generous corner plot there is scope for extension, subject to relevant planning consents.

High Street, Watchfield, SN6

£500,000

Swindon Advertiser:

Located in Watchfield this deceptively spacious semi-detached house is available for a whopping £500,000.

Light cosmetic work could bring this underwhelming property out of its shell. 

The bright and airy home is in a highly sought after location, perfect for busy families who want to be closer to nature.
