About
The One: Where luxury living finally finds its place. There are apartments that simply give you somewhere to live... and then there are spaces that elevate your everyday.
Positioned on the top floor within the prestigious Forum development, just moments from the open green spaces of Lawn Woods and the vibrant heart of Old Town, this exceptional brand-new two-bedroom apartment brings together modern luxury, thoughtful design, and an enviable lifestyle location.
From the moment you arrive, the experience feels different.
A beautifully designed communal entrance with polished marble flooring and an elegant reception area sets the standard, creating a sense of arrival more commonly associated with boutique hotels than residential developments.
With both lift and stair access available, convenience and style work hand in hand. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate the feeling of space and light.
The open-plan living area has been designed for modern living, offering a bright and versatile environment whether you're entertaining guests, working from home, or simply unwinding at the end of the day.
The contemporary kitchen integrates seamlessly into the space and features high-specification appliances including integrated oven and microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher, all finished with clean lines and premium detailing.
The principal bedroom offers a calm and inviting retreat, complete with a beautifully finished en-suite shower room featuring marble-effect tiling, stylish vanity storage, concealed cisterns and contemporary fixtures that create a luxurious hotel-inspired feel.
The second double bedroom is equally well-proportioned with another sleek en-suite. Every detail has been carefully considered to create a home that feels sophisticated yet comfortable.
Neutral tones, quality materials and thoughtful design choices combine to create a space that is both timeless and welcoming from the very first day you move in.
Beyond your front door, the lifestyle on offer is equally appealing.
Lawn Woods, once part of the historic Goddard Estate, is only a short walk away, providing beautiful woodland walks, open green space and a welcome escape from the pace of daily life.
Cross the road and Old Town unfolds around you...
• Slow mornings and great coffee at Mabel's • Browsing the shelves at Bert's Books with a coffee in hand • Evenings spent enjoying tapas and cocktails at Los Gatos • Independent restaurants, cafés, bars and boutiques all within easy reach The Forum places you at the centre of one of Swindon's most desirable locations, where heritage architecture meets contemporary convenience and everything you need is just moments away.
While the development does not benefit from allocated parking, excellent public transport links are available directly outside the building, and nearby paid parking options can be utilised for residents requiring vehicle access.
This is more than just a new apartment.
It's an opportunity to enjoy modern luxury within an established and thriving community, where character, convenience and contemporary design come together effortlessly. EPC: C No Parking
