A bright, modern two-bedroom ground-floor flat with an open-plan living/kitchen and ensuite to the principal bedroom. At about 645 sq ft, the layout feels roomy for a starter home and benefits from large windows and contemporary finishes throughout.
Practical positives include an allocated parking space accessed through electronic gates, a long lease (131 years remaining), and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or commuting. The property was built in 2007 and has double glazing and cavity wall insulation, reducing immediate maintenance concerns.
Important considerations: the home is leasehold with an annual ground rent of £167.83 and a service charge around £2,696 (buyers should confirm current figures). Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can mean higher running costs. The wider area is classified as relatively deprived and local crime levels are average; factor this into long-term value and suitability.
Well placed for transport and local amenities, the flat sits about 0.9 miles from Wellingborough town centre and train station (services to London St Pancras c.50 minutes). It will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-maintenance, move-in-ready property with immediate rental or owner-occupier potential.
