Bright, practical and chain-free, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment is well suited to first-time buyers seeking low-entry ownership near Northampton transport links. Built in the mid-2000s, the property benefits from double glazing, a recently fitted boiler and mains gas central heating, so day-to-day running is straightforward. Allocated off-street parking and secure entry give added convenience and peace of mind.
Inside, two double bedrooms, a large living room and a separate kitchen provide a traditional, easy-to-furnish layout with ample built-in storage throughout. The building is reasonably managed with a below-average service charge and a very long lease (974 years), reducing common leasehold concerns. Energy performance sits at EPC C and council tax is affordable.
Buyers should note the property is in an area with very high recorded crime levels; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security measures. The apartment is average-sized with compact circulation spaces and standard ceiling heights. While well-maintained, the home presents straightforward potential to personalise finishes rather than requiring major works.
Overall this is a practical, low-risk purchase for someone prioritising transport links (close to Northampton station), on-site parking and a long lease — a sensible step onto the property ladder or a manageable buy-to-let option.
