Summary - NORBURY COURT FLAT 9 HIGH STREET PURTON SWINDON SN5 4BF
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance garden setting with resident parking and a very long lease.
Upper-floor one-bedroom in over-60s development
A purpose-built, upper-floor one-bedroom in a sheltered over-60s development close to Purton village amenities. The apartment offers compact, low-maintenance living with a separate reception room, fitted bathroom and access to well-kept communal gardens — a straightforward choice for someone looking to downsize without losing convenience.
Practical benefits include resident parking, double glazing and a very long lease (around 966 years). The building appears well maintained externally and the location is peaceful with very low local crime and fast broadband, making it suitable for staying connected and comfortable.
Be aware of two material drawbacks: the annual ground rent is high at £3,000 and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas. The apartment is small (about 412 sq ft) so storage and space are limited; buyers should check the service charge figure and any communal maintenance plans before committing.
Overall this is a sensible, secure option for an older buyer seeking a compact, easy-care home in a friendly retirement community, provided the ground rent and electric heating meet personal budgets and expectations.
