Set within a converted red-brick factory in Abington, this generous two-bedroom duplex offers expansive living space (approximately 1,025 sq ft) and striking vaulted ceilings with multiple rooflights. The living/dining room is bright and airy; both bedrooms are double-size and the kitchen comes with integrated appliances. New carpets are being fitted in November, and electric underfloor heating provides a modern, low-visibility system. Secure gated parking with an allocated space adds practical convenience in a city-centre location close to shops, cafés and transport links.
The building’s characterful industrial shell and large windows give the apartment personality that suits first-time buyers looking for space or investors after a city rental. EPC rating C and double glazing are positives for efficiency, though the main heating is electric which can affect running costs. The property is leasehold with 76 years remaining; mortgage underwriting may be affected and some lenders could decline lending—this is a material consideration for buyers relying on a mortgage.
Ongoing costs include an annual service charge of around £1,920 and a ground rent of £150. The local area is an urban cultural mix with good local amenities and schools nearby, but also records higher crime levels and overall area deprivation, so buyers should review neighbourhood suitability and insurance implications. For those able to proceed with cash or mortgage options that accept the lease length, this apartment offers roomy, characterful living and secure parking close to Northampton town centre and the racecourse.
