About this property
CHARACTER, COFFEE AND A LITTLE BIT OF OLD-SCHOOL MAGIC...
There are apartments that are perfectly pleasant. And then there are apartments that make you stop scrolling. Welcome to Gilberts Hill School House, a beautifully converted classic school building where original character meets seriously stylish modern living. Set in the heart of SN1, this rather special duplex has the kind of personality that is increasingly hard to find, with original windows, beautiful herringbone flooring and a wonderful sense of history running through the building.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Swindon, 2026/27 bills run from £1,625 a year in band A to £4,876 in band H.
Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Swindon, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
