Summary - 26, West Cotton Close NN4 8BY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Town-centre two-bed with strong rental potential and waterside views.
Third-floor two-bedroom apartment with river and canal views
Well-sized two-bedroom third-floor apartment with panoramic River Nene and Grand Union Canal views. At about 554 sq ft, the layout offers a large living room, fitted primary bedroom, practical kitchen and modern bathroom — a compact home with good storage including two large cupboards and an airing cupboard.
This is well suited to first-time buyers or investors. The property is a short walk from Northampton town centre, train station and university, and sits in a popular rental pocket with a projected rental income of around £12,000 per year (approx. 7.7% gross yield at the asking price). The flat is currently in managed lettings and has features that appeal to tenants: modern build (post-2007), double glazing and fast broadband/mobile signal.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with approximately 126 years remaining and runs on electric heating with a boiler and radiators. The immediate area scores as deprived with higher local crime levels than average — factors that may affect resale or lettings depending on buyer priorities. Flood risk is very low and council tax is described as affordable.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-maintenance apartment in a convenient town-centre position, offering immediate rental potential or an accessible step onto the property ladder. Buyers seeking large gardens, rural quiet or a very large living space should look elsewhere.
