A mid-terraced Victorian two-bedroom house offered freehold in the heart of St James, close to shops, schools and Northampton town centre. The layout gives genuine flexibility for first-time buyers: entrance hall, sitting room, separate dining room, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom across two floors.
Practical features include gas central heating, uPVC double glazing (installed before 2002) and a low‑maintenance rear garden. The property is compact but well arranged at approximately 757 sq ft and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working or online tenants.
Important considerations: the terrace is built with solid brick walls and appears to lack cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be needed. The local area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental appeal. On-street parking only and a small forecourt mean limited outside space.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry in NN5 or investors targeting a rental in a transport-connected part of Northampton. The property is ready to occupy but offers scope for modest refurbishment to improve comfort and efficiency and to increase future value.
