A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment on the first floor, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation. The property sits in a purpose-built block completed post-2012 and benefits from double glazing, an efficient open-plan living/kitchen and a secure fob-entry system.
Practical positives include allocated off-street parking, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus a very long lease (985 years) that removes common leasehold concerns. Service charge and ground rent are modest for the development, and council tax is described as cheap. The location is convenient — short walks to local shops, bus routes and Swindon rail station.
Buyers should note the flat is small (approximately 397 sq ft) and best suited to single occupants or couples; there is no private garden and external space is communal and low-maintenance. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas or communal heating, which may increase running costs compared with central systems. The immediate area records higher crime levels and is classed as deprived, which may matter to some buyers or investors.
Overall this is a practical, well-located modern flat with clear rental and owner-occupier appeal thanks to the long lease, parking and transport links. It offers a simple move-in option or a low-effort investment, provided buyers accept the compact footprint, electric heating and the local area profile.
