Top floor one-bedroom apartment | May Close, Gorse Hill, Swindon

Tucked away on a quiet residential close in the heart of Gorse Hill, this top floor apartment offers a surprisingly peaceful retreat with some lovely open views over the neighbouring park (the kind of outlook that makes you feel further from the city than you actually are).

Day-to-day life here is genuinely convenient. The local gp surgery is virtually next door, a pharmacy is a short walk away, and Cricklade Road (with its mix of independent shops, cafés and restaurants) is easily reached on foot. It's the sort of location that suits people who want a real neighbourhood feel rather than just a postcode.

The apartment itself is well-proportioned for one-bedroom living, with a bright living room, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. Being on the top floor brings the twin benefits of no neighbours above and better natural light throughout the day. An allocated parking space is included, and the communal areas are well maintained.

With no onward chain, this is an uncomplicated purchase, equally well suited to a first-time buyer looking to get a foot on the ladder, or an investor seeking a straightforward buy-to-let in a consistently popular rental area. The lease runs for the remainder of a 999-year term from 1993, with an annual service charge of £1,540 and no ground rent payable.

Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the apartment and the setting.
