A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace on a quiet Kingsthorpe street, this two-bedroom freehold home offers 840 sq ft of practical living space and a small enclosed garden. The property has been maintained by the current owners and benefits from a refitted kitchen, through lounge/dining room, cellar storage and double glazing (installed before 2002).
The house suits a first-time buyer or small family seeking convenient access to local amenities: Waitrose, shops, cafes, parks and several primary and secondary schools are all within walking distance. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the home suitable for hybrid working.
Notable practical points: the solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, and the glazing and heating systems are not new. The rear garden and alleyway currently need gardening and present straightforward potential for improvement. The area has higher-than-average crime and sits in a generally deprived ward, which may affect resale perceptions.
Overall this is a comfortable period property with scope for energy and cosmetic upgrades. It offers an affordable council tax band and good local facilities, making it a pragmatic buy for someone wanting a central Kingsthorpe location with future improvement potential.
