Summary - Flat 3, 5 Freehold Street NN2 6BF
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Airy one-bedroom duplex near Northampton station — great commuter location.
Unique factory-conversion with high ceilings and industrial windows
A distinctive one-bedroom duplex in a converted factory, this apartment offers airy, high-ceilinged living across two levels. The mezzanine bedroom overlooks a bright, open-plan living space with a fitted kitchen and feature industrial windows that admit generous daylight. The building includes an allocated off-street parking space and secure communal entry with intercom.
Practical running costs are clear: gas central heating, double glazing, an EPC rating of D, and a maintenance charge of approximately £175 per month (including water and building insurance). The lease has about 106 years remaining and the average annual service charge is around £2,100.
Location is a key draw for commuters — Northampton station is within easy reach with mainline services to London and Birmingham — and local amenities, Kingsthorpe and the Racecourse are walkable. Be aware of material negatives: the area has higher crime and deprivation indicators, the building’s original solid-brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation, and the property is leasehold, which will affect long-term buyers. This flat suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, characterful urban home or an investor targeting commuter rental demand.
