The Forum, Marlborough Road, SN3

The One: With big view energy. Perfectly poised at the top of the brand-new Forum development, this two bedroom apartment hits Old Town a little differently. Elevated finishes, skyline views and that effortlessly cool, city-style feel that’s hard to find here.

Part of an exclusive collection 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? It shows.

The aesthetic here is sharp, minimal and quietly luxe. Think: clean lines, warm tones. Natural light pouring through oversized windows. A home that feels calm, refined and properly high-end from day one.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the standout. And the cherry on top? Stunning views out over the Wiltshire Downs. A separate island anchors the bespoke German kitchen beautifully - somewhere for morning coffees, late-night chats, laptop days and wine that turns into takeaway and another bottle. Think sleek cabinetry, marble-effect surfaces and integrated appliances that keep it feeling seamless, understated and genuinely premium.

Both bedrooms are giving boutique-hotel. One framing views of the iconic Locarno building and comes with it’s own sleek en-suite, while the second stretches views across the Wiltshire Downs and sits alongside the main bathroom - finished with vanity storage, rain shower over bath and space for the washing machine - because, honestly it just makes sense.

And being top floor? It doesn’t get much better. More light. More privacy. Better views. And then there’s the rooftop terrace. Designed as a private shared space for residents, it levels up the lifestyle of the development - slow mornings, golden-hour skies and evening pinots overlooking the Ridgeway.

The Forum itself already feels like one of Old Town’s standout addresses. It’s been designed with modern living genuinely in mind too, with secure entry systems, lift access, allocated parking, cycle space and beautifully finished communal spaces that make the entire building feel polished. Sustainability sits at the heart of the development as well, combining luxury finishes with impressive energy-efficiency credentials, quality insulation and carefully chosen materials throughout.

Literally steps from Lawn Woods and a short walk to Old Town Gardens, the location fully understands the assignment. Morning steps through the woods, brunch becoming a three-hour situation at Food Magpie, then a wander into Bert’s Books for your latest read and a coffee that somehow turns into leaving with two extra books you definitely didn’t plan on buying.

Evenings? Goddard’s for a quick sip, spontaneous dinner plans (hi Kenzo) and all the little places that make Old Town feel like Old Town. And when life needs you elsewhere, excellent local connectivity keeps getting around feeling easy. City energy. Old Town postcode.

Not just a new apartment. A whole new Old Town era.
