Chain-free two-bed terrace close to town — ideal first-time buy or small investment.
Chain-free two-bedroom Edwardian mid-terrace
A compact two-bedroom Edwardian terraced house offered chain-free and within easy reach of Kettering town centre. The property suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable entry or an investor seeking a simple rental let; the enclosed rear garden and two reception rooms add practical everyday space.
Internally the layout is traditional: lounge, separate dining room, small kitchen and an upstairs bathroom. Room sizes are modest (total approx. 539 sq ft) and bedroom two is particularly narrow, so storage and furniture choices will need careful thought. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the property has double glazing fitted before 2002.
The house is solid-brick and likely lacks modern cavity insulation; improvements such as wall insulation, heating upgrade and some modernisation would improve comfort and reduce running costs. The area is described as deprived with above-average crime, so buyers should consider personal safety and resale/rental implications.
Positives include very cheap council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — helpful for home working — plus good road and rail links to the wider area. Offered freehold and chain-free, the house is ready for viewing and for buyers prepared to invest modestly to bring it up to contemporary standards.
