The Forum, Marlborough Road, SN3

The One: That looks oh so good from every angle. Proudly perched right at the top of The Forum development, this two bedroom apartment brings a completely different perspective to Old Town living - literally. With its turreted window framing panoramic views across the town and beyond, this is the kind of home that feels like something out of a magazine.

Part of an exclusive collection of just eighteen luxury residences, The Forum has been thoughtfully reimagined by family-run local developers with a sharp focus on elevated design, longevity and modern living done properly. And this apartment? It’s easily one of the showstoppers.

The whole place just feels good. Warm tones, soft natural light, clean lines and that effortless city-style energy that’s hard to find locally. It’s giving boutique hotel meets elevated Old Town living.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the moment here - you’ll soon become the group chat’s host with the most. A separate island anchors the bespoke German kitchen perfectly, creating the kind of setup made for coffee-first mornings, hosting friends, laptop days and wine nights that somehow turn into midnight chats. Integrated appliances, marble-effect surfaces and a floating ceiling extractor keep everything feeling sleek, understated and seriously well put together.

And then there’s the apartment’s signature turret window - a striking architectural feature framing some of the best views across Old Town. Morning light hits differently here. So do golden hour drinks.

Both double bedrooms bring their own vibe entirely. One looks out across the rooftops of Old Town and sits opposite a sleek separate shower room, while the other frames views towards both Old Town and the Wiltshire Downs and comes complete with its own en-suite finished with a rainfall shower over bath and oversized XL shower head that gives the whole space that upmarket hotel feel.

From the moment you enter the building, The Forum sets a different tone. A polished marble entrance, contemporary communal spaces, and thoughtfully designed interiors create a refined first impression that feels both chic and welcoming.

Being positioned on the top floor changes everything. More natural light. More privacy. Better sunsets. A calmer feel altogether.

You’ll also enjoy rooftop terrace access with unbelievable views overlooking the Locarno building, Old Town skyline and as far as the Ridgeway. Plus the perks of course: secure entry system, lift access, allocated parking and beautifully designed communal areas that make the building feel polished from the very first arrival.

And while the aesthetics are undeniably good-looking, sustainability sits at the core of the development too, with quality insulation, materials chosen with intent and impressive energy-efficiency credentials throughout. Win-win.

For the steppers - Lawn Woods and Old Town Gardens on your doorstep. For the sippers - plenty of places for cocktails on Wood Street and beyond. For the ‘shop till you droppers’ - Old Town has some gorgeous little boutique shops, plus the Outlet is only 10 mins away. And of course, for the serial dine-outers - you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to cuisine. Some of our personal favs: Kenzo, Rendezvous, Gustoso lunches.

The Forum isn’t just somewhere to live. It’s somewhere to shout about.
