Summary - Flat 29, Barwick House, Duck Street NN10 9GP
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Central over-55s apartment with communal facilities and lift access.
Top-floor apartment with lift access
This rarely available top-floor apartment sits in an over-55s complex within immediate walking distance of Rushden town centre. The two-bedroom layout (approximately 545 sq ft) offers a living room, modern kitchen and shower room, plus useful storage in the hall. Lift access makes the second-floor location practical for less-mobile residents, and there is no onward chain for a quicker purchase.
Practical running costs and comfort features are straightforward: PVC double glazing and electric room heaters (main fuel: electricity). The block provides communal facilities including a lounge, residents' kitchen, laundry, communal gardens, drying area and on-site parking (first-come, first-served). Energy rating D63 and Council Tax Band B are consistent with similar retirement apartments.
Important ownership and running-cost facts: the flat is leasehold with about 119 years remaining and no ground rent. Service charges are approximately £189.19 per month (about £2,269 annually) and cover buildings insurance. Buyers should confirm all lease and service charge details with their solicitor before exchange. The property is compact and best suited to someone seeking a central, low-maintenance apartment rather than a large family home.
Location strengths are offset by local context: the area scores high for crime and sits within a deprived local classification, which may concern some purchasers. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local shops, health and leisure amenities are within easy reach, making this practical for someone prioritising convenience and community facilities.
