<p><strong>The One: With big view energy. </strong>Perfectly poised at the top of the <strong>brand-new Forum development</strong>, this two bedroom apartment hits Old Town a little differently. <strong>Elevated finishes</strong>, skyline views and that effortlessly cool, city-style feel that’s hard to find here.</p><p>Part of an <strong>exclusive collection </strong>of just eighteen luxury residences, The Forum has been carefully reimagined by family-run local developers with a laser focus on quality, longevity and intentional design throughout. And honestly? <strong>It shows</strong>.</p><p>The aesthetic here is sharp, <strong>minimal and quietly luxe</strong>. Think: clean lines, warm tones. Natural light pouring through <strong>oversized windows</strong>. A home that feels calm, refined and <strong>properly high-end </strong>from day one.</p><p>The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the standout. And the cherry on top? <strong>Stunning views </strong>out over the Wiltshire Downs. A separate island anchors the <strong>bespoke German kitchen</strong> beautifully - somewhere for morning coffees, late-night chats, laptop days and wine that turns into takeaway and another bottle. Think sleek cabinetry, <strong>marble-effect surfaces</strong> and integrated appliances that keep it feeling seamless, understated and <strong>genuinely premium</strong>.</p><p><strong>Both bedrooms are giving boutique-hotel</strong>. One framing views of the <strong>iconic Locarno building</strong> and comes with it’s own sleek en-suite, while the second <strong>stretches views across the Wiltshire Downs</strong> and sits alongside the main bathroom - finished with vanity storage, rain shower over bath and <strong>space for the washing machine</strong> - because, honestly it just makes sense.</p><p>And being top floor? <strong>It doesn’t get much better. </strong>More light. More privacy. Better views. <strong>And then there’s the rooftop terrace</strong>. Designed as a private shared space for residents, it <strong>levels up the lifestyle</strong> of the development - slow mornings, golden-hour skies and evening pinots overlooking the Ridgeway.</p><p>The Forum itself already feels like one of <strong>Old Town’s standout addresses</strong>. It’s been designed with modern living genuinely in mind too, with <strong>secure entry systems</strong>, lift access, allocated parking, cycle space and <strong>beautifully finished communal spaces</strong> that make the entire building feel polished. Sustainability sits at the heart of the development as well, combining <strong>luxury finishes </strong>with impressive <strong>energy-efficiency credentials,</strong> quality insulation and carefully chosen materials throughout.</p><p>Literally <strong>steps from Lawn Woods</strong> and a <strong>short walk to Old Town Gardens</strong>, the location fully understands the assignment. Morning steps through the woods, brunch becoming a three-hour situation at <strong>Food Magpie</strong>, then a wander into <strong>Bert’s Books for your latest read</strong> and a coffee that somehow turns into leaving with two extra books you definitely didn’t plan on buying.</p><p><strong>Evenings? </strong>Goddard’s for a quick sip, spontaneous dinner plans (<strong>hi Kenzo</strong>) and all the little places that make Old Town feel like Old Town. And when life needs you elsewhere, <strong>excellent local connectivity </strong>keeps getting around feeling easy. <strong>City energy. Old Town postcode.</strong></p><p>Not just a new apartment. A <strong>whole new Old Town era.</strong></p><p><strong>*Please note : imagery shown may feature details, layouts or finishes from various apartments within The Forum development.*</strong></p>
