Spacious lounge with good natural light
A one-bedroom first-floor flat in central Wellingborough, offered with a long lease (approx. 101 years remaining) and a low price point — a clear entry-level opportunity for a buyer or investor. The accommodation includes a generous lounge, practical storage room, separate kitchen and bathroom; room sizes are sensible for a 496 sq ft apartment. Service charges and buildings insurance total roughly £554 per year (split c. £234 service charge and c. £321 insurance). Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
The block is a mid-20th-century purpose-built building with communal grounds and double-glazed windows. The flat receives good natural light to the lounge and benefits from an excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for professionals or those working from home. On-street parking and immediate access to town-centre amenities, shops, buses and schools add convenience for daily life.
Note the location scores: the local area is classified as very deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate. The bedroom and some internal finishes are dated and will need renovation to modernise; this is factually reflected in the asking price and presents scope for improvement or rental uplift. The property is leasehold — check ground rent and full service charge history before committing.
In short: a budget-friendly, centrally located flat requiring cosmetic updating but offering a long lease and low ongoing council tax — suitable for a cash-conscious first-time buyer or a hands-on investor seeking refurbishment potential.
