This traditional mid-terrace bay-front home offers generous room proportions and clear potential for a modernisation project. The first-floor rooms extend over the alleyway, creating two unusually large double bedrooms for this property type. A south-facing rear garden and small forecourt add private outdoor space in a convenient town-centre location.
Offered with no onward chain, the house already benefits from mains gas central heating with a combi boiler and pre-2002 double glazing. The layout is conventional and straightforward—entrance hall, separate living and dining rooms, kitchen and a larger-than-typical first-floor landing. Modernisation throughout is needed: cosmetic updating, insulation improvements (walls are solid brick, likely uninsulated), and general refurbishment will be required to bring the property to contemporary standards.
Location strengths include easy access to Wellingborough town centre, commuter routes (A509/A45), and a circa 20-minute walk to Wellingborough station. Local amenities and several Good-rated primary and secondary schools are within walking distance. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is very low.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is in an area with above-average crime and overall local deprivation indicators. The house requires renovation and likely additional insulation and energy upgrades. The plot and front garden are small, and the rear garden, while south-facing, needs maintenance. This is well-suited to a first-time buyer willing to renovate or an investor targeting refurbishment and rental potential.
