Set just a short walk from Wellingborough train station, this late‑Victorian mid‑terrace blends period character with contemporary fittings across three bedrooms. The living room’s floor‑to‑ceiling bay, ornate cornices and cast‑iron fireplaces give the home traditional charm, while the kitchen, utility/WC and modern bathroom keep daily life practical and comfortable. Chain free sale makes it suitable for a quick move or first purchase.
The south‑facing cottage garden is a genuine plus for this terrace: paved patio, mature planting and an established apple tree create a low‑maintenance outdoor space for summer dining. A useful side alley with gated access keeps garden entry separate from the house. The property’s footprint and room proportions are generous for a terrace, with two larger double bedrooms extending over the alleyway.
Be clear about the trade‑offs. The house sits on solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation and was constructed before 1900, so buyers should expect routine maintenance and potential retrofit costs (insulation, and checking roof tiles and pointing). There is a single family bathroom and on‑street parking only. The plot is modest in size, so outdoor space is limited compared with larger suburban gardens.
This property will suit first‑time buyers and young families seeking period features, good commuter links and a ready‑to‑move‑into finish, but anyone planning extensive energy upgrades or more outdoor room should factor those works into their budget. With very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, it also presents a sensible buy‑to‑let opportunity in a well‑connected town location.
