A well-presented, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offering an easy first step on the property ladder. The bay-fronted lounge and modern fitted kitchen give comfortable, move-in-ready living across a compact 549 sq ft layout. Allocated off-street parking and a ground-floor position add practical convenience.
Positioned within walking distance of Kettering town centre and about a mile from the mainline station, the flat suits commuters and anyone wanting quick access to local shops, cafés and services. The block is modern with maintained communal areas, telecom entry and double glazing, and the long lease (999 years from 2001) reduces common leasehold concerns.
Buyers should note material running costs and local context: the service charge and ground rent are notable (approx. £2,070 and £294 per year), primary heating is by electric room heaters, and the area records higher crime and relative deprivation. The apartment has been newly renovated and needs no immediate work, but the compact room sizes limit flexibility for larger households.
Overall this apartment suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry, low-maintenance property near transport links. Verify running costs, heating suitability and local considerations during viewing and any pre-purchase checks.
