Compact two-bedroom leasehold apartment with garden — chain free, near schools and transport.
Chain free ground-floor apartment with private garden space
This ground-floor, two-bedroom leasehold apartment in Walcot, Swindon, offers practical living with private garden space and direct access to local schools and transport routes. The compact layout (approx. 441 sq ft) includes an open-plan reception, modern small kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom — suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, chain-free purchase.
Important considerations are clear: the lease has about 85 years remaining and will need renewing sooner rather than later; additional costs for a lease extension and leasehold pack should be expected. The building is a post-war system-built form with assumed limited wall insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, so improvement works (insulation, potential cosmetic updates) may be needed to improve comfort and energy performance.
The area offers good transport links (A419/M4), fast broadband and strong mobile signal, but local deprivation indicators are high and the wider neighbourhood is described as hampered, so buyers should assess local services and long-term value. There is a public notice that an offer has been received and higher written offers were invited; check current status before arranging a viewing. Overall this is a low-cost entry property with garden space and immediate occupancy potential, best for buyers prepared to manage lease and improvement costs.
