House prices in Swindon are on the rise, up £1400 a month in the last year. So we thought we'd take a look at what your money can buy you - here's five of the most expensive houses with a Swindon postcode.

1. Winterbourne House, Berwick Bassett

Swindon Advertiser:

Winterbourne House apparently dates back to the 19th century. If upstairs log fires, feature wells and swimming pools are your thing, then this is the house for you - assuming you've got £2m plus to spare.

Swindon Advertiser:

Six bedrooms, a walk in wine cellar and ceiling mounted cinema system, plus a separate entrance for caterers via the utility room.
