This chain-free one-bedroom apartment in Swinden Court offers compact, practical living with good transport links and nearby amenities. At 352 sq ft the layout suits a single occupant or couple seeking an affordable entry into Milton Keynes or a rental investment with low council tax and fast broadband availability.
The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s; the flat has double glazing (installation date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. A modern kitchen and large windows bring natural light to the living area and the apartment includes a small balcony and on-site parking beneath the block.
Notable constraints: the property is leasehold with 87 years remaining and an average service charge of £1,038 per year. The wider area is classified as deprived with above-average crime levels and a “hampered neighbourhoods” local classification—important for buyers weighing safety and resale prospects. Stantonbury School nearby is rated “Requires improvement,” though several primary schools in the area have Good Ofsted ratings.
This flat will suit first-time buyers wanting a low-entry pied-à-terre or investors seeking a straightforward, let-ready unit in a city setting. It requires no immediate major works listed here, but the age of the building and limited floor area mean future buyers should inspect for typical maintenance needs and plan around the remaining lease length.
