Summary - Flat 6, 2 Tithe Barn Road NN8 1GD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two double bedrooms with parkland views
This two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers compact, ready-to-live-in accommodation with clear commuter advantages. Positioned in Avon House, the flat looks over open parkland and sits within easy walking distance of Wellingborough town centre and the train station with services to London St. Pancras. A modern fitted kitchen and bathroom, double glazing and lift access add everyday convenience.
Practical running costs are clear: a 146-year lease, ground rent £175 pa (fixed for first 15 years) and an average service charge of around £1,090 pa. Heating and hot water are electric via a boiler and radiators (no gas). There is one dedicated off-street parking space and plentiful free public parking nearby.
Buyers should note material negatives: the building dates from the late 1960s/70s with a concrete, dated exterior and assumed system-built walls with no known insulation; the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and is classified as very deprived. The flat is currently let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy but can be sold with vacant possession.
For a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance starter home or a commuter base close to transport links, this property delivers straightforward value. Factor in the service charge, ground rent and electric heating when assessing long-term costs, and consider potential improvement or insulation works to enhance comfort and running bills.
