This ground-floor one-bedroom flat offers straightforward, low-maintenance city living just a short walk from Northampton town centre and the railway station. A private gated entrance leads to a practical layout: entrance hall with storage, a generous lounge/diner, compact fitted kitchen, double bedroom and three-piece bathroom. The flat benefits from allocated off-street parking and UPVC double glazing throughout.
For a first-time buyer this property represents an accessible purchase with modest footprint (approximately 468 sq ft) and a clear, usable layout. The secure private entrance and ground-floor position suit those with limited mobility, while its proximity to transport and local amenities supports commuting or city-centre lifestyle. Council tax is described as very cheap, and the Energy Performance Certificate shows a decent C rating.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with about 96 years remaining and a monthly lease charge of £175.01 (around £2,100 per year). Heating is by electric storage heaters, which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The local area has high crime and significant deprivation indicators — factors to consider for long-term living comfort or rental prospects.
Overall this is a compact, well-located starter home or buy-to-let opportunity offering convenience and low external maintenance. Buyers should weigh the service charge, electric heating running costs and local area profile against the property’s transport links, private entrance and allocated parking.
