This three-bedroom mid-terraced house on James Watt Avenue offers an affordable entry into Corby with a practical layout: lounge/diner, modern-style kitchen, ground-floor WC/utility and a three-piece first-floor bathroom. The property includes a small rear garden and single off-street parking space — useful everyday features for first-time buyers.
The home requires renovation and updating throughout, which creates scope to add value by improving finishes, fittings and insulation. Solid brick walls and double glazing are in place, and the existing gas boiler and radiators provide a functioning heating system; however, internal modernisation is needed to bring the property up to current standards.
Location is a strength: shops, several well-rated primary schools and a main bus link are all within walking distance, supporting everyday convenience and potential rental demand. The council tax band is low, which helps running costs.
Be clear about local context: the area has higher crime levels and sits in a generally deprived ward, and the plot is small. Buyers should factor renovation costs and consider security measures when budgeting. Sold chain-free, the house suits a hands-on first-time purchaser or a buy-to-let investor willing to carry out improvements.
