This modern three-bedroom semi-detached house on Chimney Crescent offers a practical, low-running-cost starter home or a straightforward rental investment. The layout includes a lounge, fitted kitchen/diner, ground-floor WC, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C keep energy use reasonable and council tax is in a low band.
Externally the property sits on a small plot with front and rear gardens and off-street parking for two cars. The plot and internal rooms are modest in scale — lounge, kitchen and bedrooms are compact — which suits first-time buyers, small families or landlords seeking an easy-to-manage let. Broadband speeds are fast and the location provides quick A45 access to Rushden Lakes for shops and leisure.
Notable considerations are the property’s overall small size and limited garden; the plot is not suitable for extensive landscaping or large extensions. The wider area shows signs of economic deprivation and recorded crime is above average, which may affect longer-term resale or rental desirability. Nearby secondary schools have weaker Ofsted outcomes, though a local primary is highly rated.
The house is offered with vacant possession or with a tenant in situ (current rent c. £1,000 pcm), giving flexibility for owner-occupation or continued rental income. For buyers wanting a modern, low-maintenance home close to local amenities, this is a pragmatic, affordable option; for those seeking larger rooms, extensive grounds or a quieter high‑amenity area, this will feel constrained.
