- Secure off-street parking and communal intercom system
- Double glazing and gas central heating throughout
- Leasehold with 106 years remaining (125-year original term)

- Local area: very deprived with higher recorded crime levels
A compact, modern third-floor apartment in a low-maintenance development, well placed for Kettering town centre and Kettering General Hospital. The open-plan kitchen/dining/living area benefits from integrated appliances and contemporary finishes, creating a bright social hub for everyday life and entertaining.
The flat offers two good-sized bedrooms and a white three-piece bathroom — a practical layout for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors. Secure off-street parking, a communal intercom and double glazing add convenience and security, while mains gas central heating keeps running costs reasonable.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with 106 years remaining and an annual service charge of about £1,224 (£102 pcm). At 551 sq ft there is no private garden and internal space is modest. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and is rated very deprived, which will affect long-term desirability and rental demand.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-live-in apartment in a modern block that suits buyers seeking low-upkeep urban living or investors wanting a centrally located rental. Interest should be balanced against the shortfalls: modest size, communal living, regular service charges and local area challenges.
