This Victorian bay-fronted terrace offers a straightforward town-centre home or rental in Northampton, sold with vacant possession and no upper chain. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and three large first-floor bedrooms — a practical footprint for a family or investor wanting immediate occupancy or refurbishment potential.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating with radiators, double glazing and a small paved courtyard garden with gated rear access. Principal room sizes are generous for the building type, and the proximity to the railway station, shops and local parks is a clear convenience for commuters and renters.
Note the area context: the postcode sits within a very deprived ward with above-average crime. The house is solid-brick Victorian construction and appears to require cosmetic updating rather than structural rebuild, so buyers should budget for modernisation and possible insulation improvements. Energy rating information is inconsistent in the listing (D stated; agent note E) — expect only average energy performance.
This freehold mid-terrace is well suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable town-centre starter home or landlords targeting short-term Lets/long-term tenants. The small courtyard limits garden-led extensions without consent; parking is on-street. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
