Summary - Scribers Drive, Upton, Northampton, NN5 NN5 4ES
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Modern shared-ownership flat with parking, park access and good transport links.
Bright open-plan living and integrated kitchen
Bright, contemporary two-bedroom flat offered via Shared Ownership (50% share) in Upton, Northampton. The open-plan living/kitchen creates a modern, low-maintenance living space with double glazing, gas central heating and an Energy Performance Rating of B. Residents benefit from allocated off-street parking, a communal bin and bike store, and fast broadband—useful for commuters and new arrivals.
The property sits a short walk from Upton Country Park and Sixfields Leisure Park, with local shops, gyms and healthcare close by. Regular buses link to Northampton station (direct trains to London Euston), and the M1 is readily accessible, making this a practical base for city workers and first-time buyers seeking green space nearby.
Shared Ownership lowers the purchase cost (available at £92,500 for a 50% share of a £185,000 valuation) with a 5% minimum deposit on the share. Monthly outgoings include a rent payment (£108.92), average service charge (£174.57) and an estimated total monthly charge of £283.49 plus mortgage payments. Note the housing association applies an annual rent increase each April.
Important practical points: the flat is small (about 605 sq ft) and has a significant annual service charge. The lease has 109 years remaining—sufficient for many buyers but something to discuss with your solicitor and mortgage adviser as lease length can affect mortgage options and resale. Overall, this is a compact, well-presented shared ownership home suited to first-time buyers seeking affordable access to the property market close to green space and good transport links.
