Set close to Northampton town centre and the train station, this third-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a low-cost city-base for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan living and kitchen area is bright and practical, while two double bedrooms (one with an en-suite) provide private sleeping space. Chain-free sale and an allocated off-street parking space add convenience.
The building delivers easy, low-maintenance living: a contemporary block with communal gym access and fast broadband/mobile coverage. At about 646 sq ft the apartment is a small-to-average-sized home that suits city commuters or those wanting a simple pied-à-terre. The property has double glazing and modern fitted kitchen appliances.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: heating is by electric room heaters (no communal gas), which may mean higher running costs compared with gas central heating. The area is classed as very deprived and local crime levels are high; this central location brings urban activity and associated noise. Leasehold tenure applies (approximately 107 years remaining) and additional leasehold/management fees may apply — prospective purchasers should obtain full leasepack details and factor ongoing charges into budgets.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, low-upkeep apartment in a central location with strong rental and commuter appeal, but purchasers must accept the urban setting, electric heating and leasehold obligations before proceeding.
