A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering characterful living close to Northampton town centre and the train station — an attractive option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a practical city-base. The ground floor opens to an open-plan living and dining area with exposed floorboards that add period charm. The kitchen is serviceable and includes a useful utility area and downstairs WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The southerly-facing rear garden with a decked area provides a sunny outdoor spot for sitting out.
The house is freehold, of solid brick construction and dates from before 1900, so it has genuine period character but will benefit from updating. The property currently has double glazing (install date unknown), a mains gas boiler with radiators, and an Energy Efficiency Rating of D. There is on-street parking and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for modern working and commuting.
Notable practical points are straightforward: the home is relatively small (about 665 sq ft) on a small plot, set in an urban area with above-average crime and pockets of local deprivation. The kitchen and some internal finishes are dated and walls are likely uninsulated, so buyers should budget for cosmetic and possible energy-efficiency improvements. Council Tax is very cheap (Band A), and there is no flood risk.
In short, this is a well-located, characterful starter home with scope to improve value through modest refurbishment. It suits a buyer who values location and potential over turnkey condition — or an investor targeting rental demand close to transport links and town amenities.
