Summary - FRANKLIN HOUSE, 3 FLAT 12 TWICKENHAM CLOSE SWINDON SN3 3FB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact commuter-friendly apartment with parking and low annual charges.
No onward chain — ready for quicker completion
Set on the second floor of a modern development east of Swindon, this two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home or buy-to-let opportunity. The open-plan living space with integrated kitchen and allocated off-street parking suits commuters and city workers needing easy access to the M4 and A419. Communal grounds and a secure entry system add practical convenience.
Important lease information affects value here: just 80 years remain on the lease, which may prevent many lenders from offering mortgages. Buyers should seek specialist mortgage advice and factor potential lease-extension costs into their budget. Annual charges are modest — service charge £520 and ground rent £175 — with an additional estate charge of £296.67.
Internally the flat is modern and well-maintained, with gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of B. Accommodation is compact (about 488 sq ft) with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is offered with no onward chain which can speed completion for a purchaser able to proceed with cash or appropriate mortgage arrangements.
This apartment will suit first-time buyers looking for a commuter-friendly, low-upkeep home or investors targeting steady rental demand. However, the limited lease length and above-average local crime rate are material factors that need to be considered before viewing.
