Summary - Flat 11, Payne House, 3 Oak Street, NORTHAMPTON NN1 3HH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact town-centre apartment with secure parking and period character.
Allocated secure off-street parking included
A compact, well-presented two-bedroom apartment set on the second floor of a converted red-brick mill, just a short walk from Northampton town centre. The flat offers an open-plan living/kitchen area with contemporary fitted units, two modest bedrooms and a shower room — an efficient layout that suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking central convenience. Allocated secure off-street parking is included, a valuable benefit in this town-centre location.
The building retains period character externally with large sash-style windows and high ceilings in parts, while the interior presents in modern condition with double glazing. The lease has around 115–116 years remaining and the property is offered chain free, making it straightforward to move on. Main running costs include an annual service charge of approximately £1,650 and a small ground rent of £40; these are important for budgeting and should be checked by your solicitor.
Be aware of clear drawbacks: the flat is small (about 498 sq ft) with no private garden or substantial external amenity, heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, and the local area records very high crime levels and significant deprivation. For buyers prioritising central access, low purchase price and a ready-to-rent layout, this home presents good short-term value; those seeking quieter, suburban family living or lower ongoing charges may want to look elsewhere.
All measurements, service arrangements and local information should be verified by your legal adviser prior to offer. The property’s location delivers excellent public transport links and town-centre amenities, but assess the neighbourhood and security needs carefully if viewing.
