This smart first-floor two-bedroom apartment sits within a converted Victorian factory and has been recently refurbished to a high standard. The open-plan living and bespoke kitchen deliver a modern, light-filled space ideal for a couple or first-time buyer seeking low-maintenance living. The lease has 109 years remaining and the current service charge is reported at £50 per month.
Practical features include an allocated off‑road parking space in the communal car park, double glazing, gas central heating and nearby public EV charging. The apartment is compact (around 550 sq ft) but arranged efficiently, with a refitted bathroom featuring a rainfall shower and quality floor finishes throughout.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is leasehold with an absent freeholder recorded in the lease notes, and there is a ground-rent provision in the lease (currently not collected). The wider location scores high for deprivation and recorded crime levels are high, which may affect future resale or rental prospects. The immediate area is convenient for shops, schools and the train station (Wellingborough to London St Pancras ~55 minutes).
Overall this is a well-presented, low-running-cost apartment suited to someone wanting a move-in-ready home or a buy-to-let starter, provided they accept the leasehold status and local area considerations.
