A classic three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering practical family accommodation and clear refurbishment potential. The ground floor favours sociable living with a through living and dining room, bay window and working fireplace; a separate kitchen and utility room add useful storage and laundry space. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms and a family bathroom, arranged on a straightforward two-storey layout that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors.
Key location strengths include close proximity to local shops, parks and good primary/secondary schools, with Northampton town centre and train station within easy reach. Road links to the A45/A43 and M1 make commuting straightforward, while fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. The freehold tenure and no flood risk add practical reassurance.
Notable drawbacks are honest and finite: the house is of solid brick construction with assumed no wall insulation and relies on electric storage heaters, so energy costs may be higher than modern systems. The interior and some external finishes would benefit from updating to unlock full value. The rear garden and front plot are small, so outdoor space is low-maintenance but limited.
Overall this is a sensible purchase for someone wanting a period property close to amenities, with potential to improve energy performance and modernise interiors to increase comfort and long-term value.
