Summary - COUNTESS COURT FLAT 3 COUNTESS ROAD NORTHAMPTON NN5 7EA
2 bed 1 bath Flat
No chain urban duplex near town centre and station, ideal for cash buyers or investors.
Two double bedrooms across a duplex layout
A deceptively spacious two-bedroom duplex flat arranged over two levels, located within easy walking distance of Northampton town centre and the train station. The apartment offers two double bedrooms, a separate lounge and kitchen, double glazing, and fast broadband — convenient for commuters or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential. The property is sold with no onward chain and occupies an average-sized 667 sq ft footprint in a late 20th-century brick block.
Important practical points: the lease has approximately 62 years remaining, which may prevent standard mortgage offers and will limit the pool of buyers to cash purchasers or specialist lenders. The property is being sold at auction via the Modern Method of Auction; a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) and a buyer’s information pack fee apply. Service charge and ground rent are currently c. £1,133 and £348 per year respectively.
The flat shows signs of mid-century fittings — particularly the dated kitchen and electric storage heating — so a modest program of updating would improve comfort, energy performance and rental appeal. The immediate area is an urban cultural mix with fast connectivity but higher-than-average crime and very deprived local indices, which buyers should factor into valuation and management plans.
This property suits a cash buyer or investor prepared to refurbish for rental or resale, or an owner-occupier able to proceed without standard mortgage finance. Full due diligence is recommended: check the buyer information pack, lease details, and any lender requirements before bidding.
