Summary - OAKTREE COURT FLAT 20 GEORGE STREET KETTERING NN16 0AW
1 bed 1 bath Ground Flat
Secure 55+ flat with garden access and immediate move-in availability.
Ground-floor one-bedroom with direct access to communal gardens
A compact, ground-floor one-bedroom flat in the heart of Kettering's town centre, set within the age-restricted Oaktree Court (55+). The living room opens directly onto well-kept communal gardens, and the accommodation includes a contemporary walk-in shower, new carpets to living and hall, modern PVC double glazing and a Dimplex Quantum night storage heater in the lounge. With no onward chain, the flat is ready to occupy immediately.
This property is suited to someone seeking low-stairs, secure retirement living with easy access to cafés, shops, the Heritage Quarter and local amenities. The development provides communal parking, a residents' lounge, a guest bedroom for visitors and an emergency pull-cord system in every room for peace of mind.
Important practical facts: the flat is leasehold with approximately 86 years remaining on a 125-year term, a nominal ground rent of £1pa and an annual service charge around £2,716 (c. £226.37pcm from April 2025). Residents are in the process of taking over management of the scheme, which could change how services are run and alter future costs.
Considerations include electric storage heating and separate electric water heating (no gas), a relatively short lease compared with new-build lengths, and a local area with higher crime and marked deprivation. The flat’s compact size and some dated kitchen finishes mean light refurbishment could add comfort and value, but buyers should budget for ongoing service charges and factor in communal management arrangements.
