This compact two-bedroom apartment in Riverside Wharf offers an affordable entry into Northampton’s NN4 market. Set on the third floor of a modern purpose-built block, the home has an open-plan lounge and fitted kitchen/diner that suits first-time buyers and investors seeking straightforward, low-maintenance city living. Its location close to the town centre and the Grand Union Canal supports good rental demand and local amenities.
Practical features include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C. The property comes with one allocated off-street parking bay and a secure communal entrance with an intercom system. The 132-year lease remaining and modest ground rent make the tenure clear for mortgage and buy-to-let considerations.
Be aware this is a small apartment (approximately 614 sq ft) and will suit buyers comfortable with compact living or looking for a rental unit. Annual service charge and ground rent are £1,200 and £150 respectively; there is limited communal outside space and the building sits in an area with higher crime statistics and local deprivation indicators. These factors should be weighed against the affordability and rental yield potential (advertised rent c. £950pcm).
Overall, the property represents a pragmatic, affordable purchase close to central Northampton. It is best suited to a first-time buyer wanting an easy-to-manage home or an investor targeting steady city rental income—provided buyers are content with the small footprint and communal charges.
