Step into a contemporary first-floor apartment in Standside, Northampton — a compact, well-presented two-bedroom home ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The open-plan living area opens onto a balcony, creating a light, sociable space for everyday living. The kitchen is separate and fitted, and both bedrooms are doubles, making the layout flexible for sharers or a young couple.
Practical strengths include allocated off-street parking, gas central heating with a modern boiler and radiators, double glazing, and a very long lease (978 years). Service charges are modest (£900 annually) and ground rent is nominal, keeping running costs predictable. The property is chain-free, has an EPC B rating and sits within easy walking distance of town-centre amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools.
Be clear about the constraints: the overall size is small at around 541 sq ft, so storage and furniture layouts need planning. The area records very high crime levels, a material consideration for buyers prioritising security or resale. The apartment is leasehold — although the remaining term is exceptionally long, buyers should factor in standard leasehold implications.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home or an investor looking for a compact rental unit with good transport and amenity links. Viewing is recommended to assess room proportions and the building’s communal environment in person.
