This mid-terraced two-bedroom house sits within easy walking distance of Kettering town centre and the mainline station, promising quick commutes and convenient shopping. The ground floor is arranged as an open-plan living/dining room that benefits from natural light and flows to a modern fitted kitchen at the rear. Two double bedrooms upstairs provide comfortable sleeping accommodation for a small family or sharers, while a compact rear garden and brick-built storage shed add practical outdoor and storage space.
The property has attractive points for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers: freehold tenure, double-glazed windows, mains gas central heating, and a contemporary bathroom. The footprint is modest (approx. 679 sq ft) which helps to keep running costs down — council tax is noted as very cheap — and the layout is straightforward to maintain or adapt.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations. The terrace is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls where insulation is assumed absent, so improving thermal efficiency may be needed. The plot and rooms are relatively small, and the property sits in an area recorded as very deprived with very high local crime levels; these factors will affect resale and rental demand and should be weighed when budgeting.
A practical purchaser will benefit from an independent survey and service checks before purchase, especially for services and structural condition. Overall, this is a well-presented, compact town-centre home with commuter appeal and scope for modest upgrades to improve comfort and energy performance.
