This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor in Northampton’s Cultural Quarter, a short walk from theatres, bars and the railway station. The open-plan living/kitchen makes efficient use of about 540 sq ft, with an integrated kitchen and a good-sized double bedroom. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working or short-let guests.
The flat has a long lease (116 years remaining) and is offered leasehold at £140,000, making it accessible for first-time buyers and appealing to investors. Communal entry with intercom provides basic security; the property has a boiler-and-radiator gas central heating system and no recorded flood risk.
Be clear about running costs and local context: the building’s service charge is about £2,342 pa and the wider area records higher crime and pockets of deprivation. There is limited private outdoor space and the flat is reached via communal stairs on the second floor, which may matter for mobility needs.
The property is currently used as an Airbnb, so it suits buyers seeking an income stream, but any purchaser should verify short-let permissions and potential rental income. Overall this is a compact, city-centre flat offering straightforward living or letting potential at an entry-level price point.
