This mid-terrace Edwardian property on Essex Street presents a practical investment or starter-home opportunity close to Northampton town centre and train station. Sold chain-free and previously operated as an HMO, it is offered freehold and in generally good condition with double glazing and working gas central heating. The layout provides flexible living: two ground-floor reception rooms (convertible to bedrooms), three first-floor bedrooms and a cellar, totalling about 915 sq ft.
The house has useful features for buyers seeking rental income or a refurbishment project — small enclosed rear garden, cellar and proximity to local amenities and transport links. The kitchen is dated and will benefit from modernization; walls are original solid brick with assumed no insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency is a likely improvement. Council tax is very cheap, which supports low running costs.
Important considerations: the area is classified as deprived with relatively high local crime rates, and some rooms are compact. While the property is in good structural condition for its age, purchasers should allow budget for cosmetic updating, kitchen replacement and potential insulation works. This will suit investors wanting an HMO return or buyers prepared to modernize for family or rental use.
