A well-presented ground-floor two-bedroom apartment in Old Town, Swindon, suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance home. The large sitting/dining room opens via twin doors onto a south-facing communal garden, bringing good light to the principal living space. The modern kitchen includes a built-in oven and four-ring gas hob, with room for white goods.
Both bedrooms are doubles; the main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe. Gas central heating, double glazing and a relatively recent build (2003–2006) give practical, energy-efficient features. The apartment includes one allocated off-street parking space and immediate access to the enclosed communal garden.
Leasehold details are straightforward: 981 years remaining, service charge around £1,495.06 per year and ground rent £500 per year. Broadband speeds are reported very slow locally, and the area records a very high crime statistic, which some buyers may wish to investigate further. Council tax falls in Band C.
Overall this is an average-sized, convenient flat in a quiet, residential development close to local shops, schools and transport links — a sensible pick for someone buying their first home or adding a lettable property to a portfolio.
