Property Oracle says ..
This is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment situated in Gilbert Place, Old Town, Swindon. The property is part of a McCarthy & Stone Retirement Living Plus development, suggesting a focus on ease of living and potential added services. From the photographs, the apartment appears modern, well-maintained, and bright, with a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms. The property includes a walk-out balcony offering pleasant views. The development includes communal gardens and landscaping, visible in the provided images, along with communal facilities such as a lounge and a restaurant. The location in Old Town benefits from proximity to good schools, although specific proximity to shops and other amenities need further clarification. Transport links appear good with Swindon railway station relatively close. The list price of £375,000 requires further analysis against comparable properties to determine its true market value. While the price seems reasonable at first glance, comparing it to comparable properties with complete square footage is necessary for a definitive assessment. A key point to potential buyers would be the Retirement Living nature of the complex and whether the target demographic of this type of housing aligns with their needs. While a very well-presented property, the lack of private land should be noted for potential buyers. The property is well-suited to a retired couple or individual seeking a modern, low-maintenance apartment in a desirable location with convenient amenities.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
