Freshly refurbished and efficiently laid out, this ground-floor apartment offers straightforward, low-maintenance living close to Kettering town centre and transport links. The open-plan kitchen/living space is bright, with modern fittings, wood-effect flooring and French doors providing outside outlook. Allocated off-street parking and neat communal grounds add practicality for daily life.
Practical details are clear: a 125-year lease started in 2006 (about 106 years remaining), an annual service charge of £1,275, and ground rent to be confirmed. Heating is by electric wall heaters and the EPC is rated C — efficient for an electrified system, but buyers should note running costs differ from gas-heated homes.
This property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a ready-to-move-in apartment with low upkeep and good local amenities. The flat is compact (approx. 590 sq ft) so it’s ideal for a single occupant or couple rather than a family requiring larger rooms or private outdoor space.
Be aware of a couple of material considerations: the building sits in an area with above-average crime statistics, and the communal nature of the site means no private garden is evident. Prospective purchasers should confirm ground rent, long-term service charge budgeting, and suitability of electric heating for their needs.
