Summary - Semington Strand, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 SN1 7DL
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright first-floor apartment with parking and long lease in a sought-after Wichelstowe development.
Two double bedrooms, main bedroom with en-suite and fitted wardrobes
Bright, low-maintenance first-floor apartment in a modern 2022 development, designed for comfortable retirement living. The open-plan living/kitchen is naturally bright with upgraded appliances and space for dining, while two full double bedrooms — one with en-suite and fitted wardrobes — give flexible accommodation for visitors or a home office.
This property is offered through a Home for Life Lifetime Lease illustration for those aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £140,750 (market value shown £210,000). The plan lets eligible buyers buy a share of the property (up to 50%) to safeguard value; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. The apartment also works as a standard purchase at the full market price for buyers not using the Lifetime Lease option.
Practical positives include two allocated parking spaces, no ground rent, a long lease (994 years remaining), EPC B and a modest council tax band. Service charges are c.£1,400 per year — reasonable for a new development but a recurring cost to budget for.
This home suits downsizers or retirees seeking easy access to local amenities (including Waitrose nearby), good broadband and excellent mobile signal. Verify tenure and purchase options with your solicitor or pension/advice provider to confirm how the Lifetime Lease would apply to your circumstances.
