From the moment you arrive, The Forum makes an impression.
Polished marble flooring, elegant lighting and beautifully finished communal spaces create an arrival experience more reminiscent of a boutique hotel than a traditional apartment building.

Large windows frame iconic rooftop views across Old Town, allowing natural light to flood through the apartment throughout the day and creating a calm, airy atmosphere that instantly feels like home.

Complete with an integrated electric hob, contemporary ceiling extractor, bespoke German cabinetry, integrated microwave and oven, this is a space equally suited to quiet mornings as it is to entertaining family and friends.
The quality of finish throughout delivers a seamless, sophisticated look that elevates the entire apartment.
The living and dining area flows effortlessly around the kitchen, creating a versatile space perfect for modern living.
Whether you're hosting guests, working from home or enjoying a quiet evening overlooking Old Town, the layout adapts effortlessly to your lifestyle.
Both double bedrooms enjoy elevated views across the surrounding townscape and benefit from their own beautifully appointed en-suite shower rooms.
Finished with marble-effect tiling, striking honeycomb flooring, rainfall showers, vanity storage and contemporary fittings, each bathroom has been designed to deliver a luxurious, hotel-inspired experience every day.

• Independent cafés and coffee spots for slow mornings • Popular restaurants, wine bars and local favourites all within walking distance • Boutique shops and unique businesses that give Old Town its character • Excellent transport connections linking you to the wider town and beyond The Forum combines contemporary luxury with one of Swindon's most established and desirable locations, creating a home that feels both connected and private in equal measure.
