This end-of-terrace two-bedroom house offers a straightforward entry into homeownership with no onward chain and a generous private rear garden. The interior is sensibly arranged over two floors with a living room, open kitchen/diner and a guest cloakroom on the ground floor, and two double bedrooms plus a bathroom upstairs. Room sizes are practical rather than generous; the overall property footprint is small so it suits a couple or first-time buyer seeking manageable accommodation.
Location is a genuine strength: the property sits very close to Kettering town centre, the mainline station (direct trains to London under an hour) and local hospital, making commuting and local amenities easy. The house has gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a solid brick construction; these provide a secure, serviceable baseline for future improvements.
Buyers should note a few material points. The EPC is rated D and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy performance could be improved. The exterior shows age and will likely need light-to-moderate maintenance or cosmetic updating. There is no obvious off-street parking, and the wider area records higher crime and relative deprivation—important considerations for some buyers or investors.
For a first-time buyer this property represents an affordable, chain-free opportunity with a large garden and good transport links. For a buyer prepared to refresh interior and external finishes, there’s clear potential to increase comfort and energy efficiency. Council tax is very low, which helps with running costs but should be balanced against potential refurbishment and security considerations.
