This top-floor one-bedroom apartment in Kingsthorpe offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase with a longer-than-usual lease (960 years) and a garage in a nearby block. The flat feels larger than average for its type, with a refitted kitchen/dining room, a bright bay-windowed lounge, and useful built-in storage — practical features for a first-time buyer or investor seeking low-entry access to the area.
Situated in a 1970s block with communal gardens, the home is double glazed and benefits from plentiful natural light. The layout is traditional and easy to furnish: entrance hall with cupboards, good-sized bedroom with fitted wardrobe, bathroom and a generous kitchen/dining space that will suit everyday cooking and entertaining.
Buyers should note the apartment is electric-heated (wall-mounted/room heaters) and there is no gas supply, which can affect running costs. The EPC is D and the advertised ground rent of £1,526 per year is high for this type of property; service charge details are not provided and should be checked before purchase. Council Tax is Band A and described as very cheap, which helps overall affordability.
Overall this is a practical, low-hassle purchase for someone seeking an affordable entry into Kingsthorpe or a rental-let opportunity — provided you factor in electric heating, the EPC rating and the notable annual ground rent into your cost calculations.
