A modern two-bedroom apartment offering an affordable entry into Northampton’s rental and commuter market. Set within a well-managed development, the home provides a bright open-plan living space that flows onto a balcony — ideal for a morning coffee or small container garden. The fitted kitchen includes essential appliances and the property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C.
Practical running costs are a strength: a long lease (974 years), nominal ground rent and a below-average service charge (£900) keep ongoing expenses low. Allocated off-street parking and secure entry with intercom add convenience for daily commuters; Northampton train station is within walking distance, making this a sensible choice for first-time buyers working in the town or beyond.
The apartment is presented in excellent condition and sold chain-free, so it’s ready for a quick move or let. At about 638 sq ft the layout suits a couple or small household; the master is a double with built-in storage, while the second bedroom fits a single or small double. A large hallway cupboard houses the boiler, helping to free up living space.
Buyers should note some area-level drawbacks: the local neighbourhood records very high crime rates and ranks as deprived, which may affect resale or rental desirability. The property itself has no major defects reported, but purchasers wanting a quieter or more affluent locale may wish to view nearby pockets before deciding. Overall, this is a practical, low-cost starter home with commuter appeal and scope for owner-occupiers or investors comfortable with the surrounding area.
