Deceptively large at ~967 sq ft with cellar space

Very high local crime rate and area deprivation
This chain-free, two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace sits in Abington, a short walk from Northampton General Hospital and the town centre. The property offers generous internal space for its type (approximately 967 sq ft) including a cellar and a larger-than-average first-floor bathroom — useful extras for a growing household or buy-to-let conversion.
Internally the house retains period character with wood flooring and a fireplace in the lounge/diner, and double glazing fitted post-2002. The kitchen is currently undergoing minor refurbishment, and the rear garden is small and low-maintenance — ideal for easy outdoor upkeep. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the home practical for remote working and modern living.
Important practical points: the house is freehold and sold with no onward chain, but it is listed as needing renovation. Walls are solid brick with no added insulation (likely higher heating costs until upgraded). The garage is not included. The immediate area offers excellent transport links (train station nearby, A45/M1 access) and local amenities, though the neighbourhood records a very high crime rate and overall area deprivation should be considered when assessing suitability and insurance costs.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to carry out targeted improvements to increase energy efficiency and resale value, or someone seeking an affordable, well-located family home with scope to modernise. Early viewing is advised to appreciate the layout and potential.
