This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment at Oaktree Court offers a low‑maintenance town‑centre base ideal for anyone looking to downsize without losing independence. The corner position is a genuine stand‑out — windows on three sides, including a rare kitchen window and double‑aspect living room, flood the home with natural light and overlook peaceful communal gardens.
Purpose-built for the over‑55s, the development balances privacy with support: emergency pull cords in every room, a residents’ lounge, guest bedroom and on‑site parking make day‑to‑day life easier. Practical comforts include double glazing and communal lift access, while the compact 562 sq ft layout is straightforward to manage.
There are important ownership and local considerations. The flat is leasehold with a nominal ground rent and a remaining lease term reported (please verify exact years). The current service charge is significant (around £2,716pa / £226.37pcm), and the building management is in transition — ask for details of any covenants or additional charges.
Location is a key draw: a short, level walk to Kettering’s Heritage Quarter, cafés, shops, library and parish church. That central convenience suits shoppers and community‑minded downsizers, though local area statistics indicate higher crime levels and economic deprivation in parts of the wider area, which buyers should weigh against the benefits of a supportive retirement development.
