Summary - 24 Thomas Edward Coard Building, Cricklade Road SN2 8AB
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact modern apartment with secure allocated parking and easy transport links.
Chain free one-bedroom second-floor flat with lift access
This second-floor, one-bedroom flat in the Thomas Edward Coard building offers a compact, well-presented home close to Swindon town centre and transport links. The open-plan living/kitchen area and double bedroom provide straightforward accommodation for a single occupant or couple, and the secure allocated parking is a practical bonus in a central location.
The property is chain free and sits on a very long lease (978 years), so ownership issues are simple. Heating and hot water are electric with wall-mounted heaters and an immersion heater — easy to maintain but likely more expensive to run than gas. The building has communal lift access, and the flat benefits from double glazing and modern fittings in the kitchen and bathroom.
Running costs include a management charge of around £1,453.81 per year and a ground rent of £150 per year; council tax is described as very cheap. The area offers strong local amenities and excellent public transport links, but note the local crime statistic is high and the neighbourhood’s wider classification suggests economic challenges — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and buy-to-let investors.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance city-edge flat ideal for a first-time buyer wanting central access or an investor seeking a lettable one-bedroom in close proximity to the station. Buyers should budget for higher electric heating costs and consider the service charge and area factors when assessing yield or affordability.
