The One: That comes with a side of Locarno views.Some homes just hit differently. This is one of them. Set within The Forum- Old Town’s newest luxury address - this brand-new two-bedroom apartment blends elevated design, soft natural light and that easy, modern energy everyone’s seeking right now.
From the moment you arrive, the building already feels top tier. Think: polished marble entrance, hotel-style communal spaces and interiors that feel sleek, refined and intentionally designed - definitely not your standard new-build finish.
Inside, the vibe lands immediately. Sunlight pours through oversized windows from first coffee through to golden hour, giving the whole apartment that warm, light-soaked feel that somehow makes everything look better.
The living space feels like the kind of place people naturally settle into. Coffee-first mornings, laptop days that feel slightly less painful, dinner with friends and evenings that start with “one glass?” and suddenly it’s 11pm. Effortless, social and very easy to picture yourself in.
And the bespoke German kitchen? It understood the assignment. Sleek cabinetry, integrated appliances and clean-lined finishes keep things sharp, high-end and seriously good-looking. The kind of space that looks just as good with a takeaway and candles as it does with people gathered around and a playlist on in the background.
Both bedrooms are real doubles, with magazine-worthy decor that gives the entire apartment that boutique-hotel feel. Minimal. Warm. Timeless.The larger of the two comes with a stunning en-suite shower room (think marble effect tiles, honeycomb flooring and panelling), plus there’s a main bathroom with shower over bath. Both giving hotel bathroom vibes, plus no sharing required. Win win.
And while the aesthetics are undeniably easy on the eye, sustainability sits at the core of the development too, with quality insulation, carefully selected materials and impressive energy-efficiency credentials throughout. The developers really have nailed every detail.
Step goal? Sorted with Lawn Woods and Old Town Gardens both on your doorstep. Date night? Kenzo’s all you can eat steak night is looking pretty tempting. You’re really in the sweet spot of Swindon’s best postcode - cafés, restaurants, independent spots and everyday essentials all within walking distance. Plus, excellent transport links just metres from the building.
This isn’t just an apartment, it’s one that’s been worth the wait.
