New Apartments Launched In Swindon

Apartments to help people get onto the property ladder have been released for sale by David Wilson Homes as part of the major Wichelstowe development in Swindon.

The four-storey red brick apartment building with contemporary metal detailing forms a landmark on the development welcoming residents to The Orchards area of Wichelstowe. The apartments include large windows which provide views of green space to the east, with its feature Birds in Flight sculpture, and across the open space and an attenuation pond to the north. All upper floor apartments include east- or south-facing balconies.

Louise Ware, sales director at Barratt David Wilson Homes South West, said: “There’s been a huge amount of interest in these starter homes from people looking to escape rent rises. Priced from £225,000, these spacious, energy-efficient properties in a fantastic new location with access to a range of amenities on the doorstep, will help people take their first step on the property ladder.

“Potential buyers are invited to drop into the marketing suite to speak to our sales advisers, Tom and Julianna, to find out more about the newly released apartments where they can also receive free financial advice.”

The Wichelstowe development is being built by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes in partnership with Swindon Borough Council and will deliver 3,000 new homes over the next 20 years, along with new schools and community facilities. The 250-hectare site on the southern edge of Swindon will include extensive open spaces, nature conservation areas, playing pitches and allotments.

As well as apartments, Orchards Rise also offers two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom homes. As part of this neighbourhood residents can enjoy 12km of new nature trails, play areas, 200 acres of open space and walks along the Wilts and Berks canal. Homes are within a 15-minute walk of M&S and Waitrose, PureGym and The Hall and Woodhouse restaurant. There’s also a range of schools for children of all ages within easy reach.

Junction 16 of the M4 and Swindon railway station are both within a ten-minute drive, providing easy access to Bristol and London.
