A compact one-bedroom top-floor apartment in Orient House, offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN and an allocated parking space. The building is a converted industrial block with characterful brickwork and high communal ceilings; the flat itself is tidy and ready for immediate occupation or rental.
The layout is efficient: entrance hall, double bedroom with sloped ceiling, bathroom with shower over bath and an open-plan living/kitchen/dining area. The block benefits from lift access and secure communal entry with intercom, making it practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking a low-maintenance purchase in the town centre.
Important practical points: the flat is small (approximately 404 sq ft) and best suited to a single occupant or investor. The property is leasehold with 82 years remaining — buyers should review mortgage and lease implications. The surrounding area shows higher crime levels and greater area deprivation than average; purchasers should consider this for long-term resale or tenant demand.
Positive local factors include town centre convenience, close proximity to Kettering General Hospital, allocated off-street parking and excellent mobile signal. Broadband speeds are average and there is no private garden. Overall this is a straightforward, well-presented entry-level home or rental unit that requires minimal immediate updating but carries urban-location considerations buyers should weigh.
