Summary - Flat 101, Sigma House, Narrow Lane NN1 2JY
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Secure parking and easy walk to station — good rental or commuter pick.
Two double bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom
A practical two-double-bedroom apartment with a layout optimised for sharers or rental income. Both bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, and the open-plan kitchen/dining/sitting area makes the most of the 713 sq ft internal space. An allocated gated parking space is included — a valuable feature so close to the town centre and Northampton train station.
The building dates from the late 1990s and benefits from UPVC double glazing and electric storage heating. The property is offered leasehold with around 106 years remaining and average annual service charges (including ground rent) of about £3,585. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, which supports commuter tenants or those working from home.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the apartment sits in a high-crime, very deprived neighbourhood which can affect rental demand and long-term capital growth. Heating is electric storage — potentially expensive compared with gas — and the service charge is moderately high for the price bracket. The accommodation is average-sized rather than spacious, so layout and storage should be considered.
Overall this apartment suits investors or commuter buyers seeking a low-maintenance, ready-to-let property near transport links. It offers immediate rental potential and secure parking, but assess local tenancy demand and running costs (electric heating and service charge) before committing.
