This recently modernised two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Spencer Road offers compact, practical city living close to Northampton town centre. The layout includes two reception rooms, a refitted shower room and a partly converted cellar, making efficient use of 769 sq ft across multiple storeys. The low-maintenance courtyard and double-glazed windows add immediate convenience.
The property is gas-heated via a regularly serviced Vaillant combi boiler and benefits from mains services. Its size and layout suit first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in home or buy-to-let investors targeting steady rental demand; the freehold, chain-free sale is a tidy practical package. Local amenities, good primary schools and fast broadband are all within easy reach.
Be clear about the limitations: the plot is small with no off-street parking (on-street only) and the house sits in an area with higher crime and relative deprivation. The building is solid-brick of pre-1900 construction with no assumed wall insulation, so buyers wanting maximum thermal performance may need to consider retrofit options. The partly converted cellar should be inspected for compliance and damp risk before purchase.
Overall this is a sensible, well-presented terrace with immediate usability and potential for modest value improvement through targeted insulation or cellar works. It’s best suited to pragmatic buyers and investors who value location and low-running maintenance over generous external space or scenic aspects.
