Apartment living hits new heights in Swindon

Demand for apartments is on the increase and latest figures from the NHBC (National House Building Council) reveal that they made up almost half of all new homes started in the first quarter of this year.

Barratt Homes is one of the key players in providing one and two bedroom apartments for this rising demand and at Thames Reach in Swindon it is offering a range of apartments, including the newly released Churchill, where demand is being fuelled by first time buyers and those living alone or with friends.

This trend has seen a shift away from traditional semi-detached and detached homes towards a greater number of apartments and traditional terraced housing schemes.

“We are seeing first time buyers and those living alone turning to apartments as a modern way of living in stylish surroundings,’’ said sales director Louise Ware.

“Buyers love the designs we have created and for those with a busy lifestyle an apartment such as the Churchill is perfect with no need for gardening, an added security thanks to entry door systems and a real sense of community.’’
