This well-presented mid-terrace offers two double bedrooms and sensible living space across two storeys, ideal for a first-time buyer or commuter. The open-plan living and dining room centres on a wood-burning stove, creating a cosy focal point, while the refitted galley kitchen and modern bathroom reduce immediate maintenance needs.
Practical features include uPVC double glazing, gas central heating, and a low-maintenance rear garden with gated access and shed. At about 830 sq ft the layout feels efficient rather than expansive, and the property is freehold — straightforward ownership for buyers stepping onto the ladder.
Important considerations: the house dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation), which can mean higher heating costs and potential scope for future insulating improvements. The EPC is D. The local area is classed as very deprived with higher-than-average crime; buyers should weigh neighbourhood factors alongside the convenience of being within walking distance of Northampton station.
Overall this is a tidy, move-in-ready terrace with commuter appeal and clear potential to add value through energy improvements. It suits buyers seeking an affordable, well-located home who are realistic about nearby social challenges and small garden/plot size.
