This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Hawthorn Road combines period character with practical, low-maintenance living. The bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room with French doors and a compact fitted kitchen give a comfortable layout for first-time buyers or couples. The rear garden is attractively planted and arranged for easy upkeep, with a covered garden kitchen and shed that extend the entertaining space.
The property is presented in refreshed decorative order and is ready to move into. Highlights include exposed wooden floors, high ceilings in the front reception, built-in wardrobes in the master bedroom, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing and an EPC rated C. The location is convenient: within walking distance of Kettering town centre, the train station and a choice of primary and secondary schools.
Notable considerations are factual and important for future planning. The house is a solid-brick Victorian build with no known cavity insulation in the walls, so targetted insulation improvements could be needed to boost energy efficiency. On-street parking only; plot and garden are small-to-average for an in-town terrace. Local reported crime levels are high, which may be relevant for some buyers. Council tax is low (Band A), and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Overall this is a well-presented period terrace that will appeal to first-time buyers, couples and buy-to-let investors seeking a manageable, characterful home close to town and transport links. The property offers immediate comfort with straightforward opportunities for energy upgrades and cosmetic personalisation.
