Summary - 48 GILBERT PLACE SWINDON SN3 1FX
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Contemporary one-bed retirement apartment with care services and sunny balcony.
East-facing third-floor apartment with balcony and lift access
A bright, east-facing third-floor retirement apartment with a walk-out balcony and lift access. The open-plan living room links to a modern kitchen with integrated appliances, while the generous double bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and walk-in space. This contemporary home was built in 2018 and offers easy, low-maintenance living for someone seeking independence with support on hand.
Gilbert Place is a Retirement Living PLUS development with on-site CQC-registered care staff, a bistro serving freshly prepared meals, homeowners’ lounge, wellness suite and communal gardens. One hour of domestic assistance per week is included in the service charge, and a 24/7 emergency call system plus secure entry offer added peace of mind. Ultrafast full-fibre broadband and good mobile reception make staying connected simple.
Important costs and practical points to note: the annual service charge is substantial and covers staffing, communal services and the bistro; a ground rent applies and heating is electric via room heaters. The building sits in an affluent area of Swindon with easy access to shops, parks and transport links, but recorded local crime levels are above average — worth considering if security is a priority.
Overall this apartment suits a buyer aged 70+ looking to downsize into a modern, well-serviced development with flexible care options. It offers low internal maintenance, long lease security and social amenities, balanced against ongoing service costs and electric heating running expenses.
