Summary - Flat 17, Grove Works, 40 Grove Road NN1 3LT
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Roomy ground-floor conversion with secure gated parking and character features.
Large open-plan lounge/dining/kitchen, 30'10" x 19'0"
A spacious ground-floor flat in a converted early 20th-century factory, this apartment combines industrial character with practical living. The open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen stretches over 30ft, flooded with light from large windows and framed by exposed beams — ideal for sociable entertaining or flexible home working.
Both bedrooms are generously proportioned; the principal bedroom includes built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. Modern finishes include a fitted kitchen with granite worktops, gas central heating via boiler and radiators, and double glazing fitted after 2002, giving the home good thermal performance (EPC C).
Practical positives include secure gated parking and step-free access via the communal entrance with a wheelchair-assist lift. The flat sits on a long lease (103 years remaining) but is sold as leasehold with an annual service charge and ground rent — factor these into ongoing costs. Council Tax sits at Band E, above average for the area.
Be candid about a few material negatives: the building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, the neighbourhood records higher crime levels, and the immediate area scores as more deprived. Service charges (£1,937.15pa) and a small ground rent (£150pa) apply. These realities temper the strong living space and conversion character, but the property will suit first-time buyers seeking roomy, characterful accommodation with secure parking close to Northampton town centre.
