A compact, low-maintenance one-bedroom apartment in West Swindon, offered chain free and well suited to buyers aged 60+ who want a simpler home. The apartment sits on the first floor with a dual-aspect 19' open-plan living area and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. A good-sized double bedroom and bathroom with a separate shower over the bath complete the accommodation.
This property is marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option (over-60s only), which typically reduces the up-front cost compared with full market value; the example Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £70,250 (market value £105,000). Lease details are strong (988 years remaining), but service charge and ground rent are not yet confirmed — buyers should verify ongoing costs and the personalised Lifetime Lease price.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, modern double glazing and zoned electric heating. The flat is small (around 329 sq ft) and heated by electric room heaters, so running costs and heating preferences should be considered. The area is convenient for local shops, bus links and M4 access, but local crime levels are noted as high, which may be a concern for some purchasers.
This is a low-upkeep retirement-style home or investment opportunity for those comfortable with electric heating and compact living. The apartment is chain free and presents straightforward possession, but interested buyers — especially those exploring the Lifetime Lease — must confirm exact costs, tenure points and EPC/energy implications with their solicitor.
