This purpose-built, first-floor one-bedroom apartment in Albion Court offers low-maintenance town-centre living tailored to buyers aged over 55 or investors seeking an income-producing flat. Positioned a short walk from Northampton’s shops, theatres and transport links, the property benefits from communal gardens, a residents’ lounge, laundry facilities and an allocated off-road parking space.
The compact accommodation includes a lounge, separate fitted kitchen, double bedroom with integrated wardrobes, and a bathroom with a double shower cubicle. The flat is currently let under an Assured Shorthold Tenancy with a rent passing of £725 pcm, making it attractive to buy-to-let purchasers who want immediate cashflow; it is also sold chain-free for an easier purchase process.
Prospective buyers should note key running costs and some practical limitations. The flat uses electric storage heating (higher running costs than gas), carries an annual service charge of around £2,500 plus a further management fee of about £500, and is located in an area recorded with higher crime levels. The overall footprint is small, so the layout suits downsizers or single occupants rather than those needing ample living space.
With approximately 97 years remaining on the lease and council tax in Band C, this is a straightforward central retirement apartment or an income-ready investment. Viewings will suit those prioritising convenience, communal support and immediate rental income, while buyers seeking lower running costs or larger rooms may prefer to compare alternatives.
