This newly refurbished ground-floor apartment offers practical, single-level living with immediate vacant possession. With a private entrance and no communal hallways, the flat feels independent and secure, and it comes with an allocated off-street parking space plus two visitor permits. The long lease (988 years) and modest annual service charge of £1,320 support long-term affordability.
Inside are two well-sized double bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances. The living/dining room includes useful built-in storage, and overall presentation is fresh and move-in ready—suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-maintenance asset.
Important practical points: the property is compact at about 547 sq ft, heated by electric storage heaters, and located in an area with higher crime statistics and relative deprivation. These factors may influence suitability depending on buyer priorities and rental expectations. Council tax is described as low, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Location is convenient for town-centre amenities and Kettering train station, making commuting feasible. Buyers should note the building era (1983–1990) and that glazing is double but install date is unknown. Overall, this is a well-presented, low-hassle apartment with clear pros and cons for buyers prioritising convenience, long lease security and minimal immediate works.
