A practical ground-floor two-bedroom flat in Lion Court, offered chain-free and ready for immediate occupation. At 556 sq ft the layout is compact and efficient: entrance hall, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen with integrated oven and dishwasher, two bedrooms and a bathroom with a P-shaped bath. Double glazing and gas-fired radiator heating keep running costs reasonable; the EPC rating is C.
This apartment will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking proximity to Northampton town centre and the University Waterside Campus. An allocated parking space sits next to the flat and there are communal lawned areas, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support working from home or studentletting. The lease has about 103 years remaining, and council tax banding is affordable.
Ongoing charges are a material consideration: the current service charge is circa £1,595pa and ground rent about £75pa (figures awaiting final confirmation). The surrounding area has higher crime and local deprivation indicators, so buyers should factor neighbourhood context into their plans. The interior is in generally good, liveable condition but some cosmetic updating would personalise the space and add value.
Overall this is an accessible, well-located flat with low flooding risk, practical transport links and immediate availability. It represents a straightforward step onto the property ladder or a lettable asset close to the university, provided you accept the communal costs and local area trade-offs.
