A compact, low-maintenance first-floor apartment in Abington offered with no onward chain — presented primarily for investors. The open-plan living/kitchen is the heart of the home, with integral appliances and doors to a small patio area that help maximise the feeling of space within the 540 sq ft footprint. Two double bedrooms and useful built-in storage make the layout practical for short-term lets or long-term tenants.
Practical details support investor appeal: an EPC rating of B, 107 years remaining on the lease and one allocated parking space (seller advises allocation; buyers should verify legally). The building is modern (constructed 2007–2011) with secure entry and communal parking, and the flat benefits from double glazing.
Be clear about the constraints: the property is small and heating is via electric storage heaters, which can increase running costs compared with gas central heating. The area records higher-than-average crime levels, which may influence tenant demand, insurance and management costs. Prospective buyers should factor these points into rental forecasts and operating budgets.
Location is a genuine plus for rental demand: under two miles from Northampton station, close to major roads (A45/M1 access) and within walking distance of local shops, bars and bus routes. This central urban setting supports steady occupancy from commuters, students and short-term city tenants, but due diligence on parking allocation and local management arrangements is recommended.
