Summary - 3 LEICESTER TERRACE NORTHAMPTON NN2 6AJ
4 bed 2 bath Terraced
Spacious 4-bed period home with double garage near the train station, Grade II listed on the front.
Grade II listed front — restrictions on alterations and potential complications
Built circa 1835 and Grade II listed on the front, this four-bedroom terraced townhouse blends authentic Victorian character with practical modern updates. Period fireplaces, tall ceilings and original features run through the home, while a lower-ground open-plan kitchen/dining area and a rear conservatory provide versatile living and entertaining space. The master bedroom benefits from an en suite and two further generous double bedrooms occupy the top floor.
A standout practical benefit is the rare double garage with an electric roller shutter door, offering secure parking and valuable storage in a central city location close to the train station. Recent double glazing at the rear and gas radiator heating improve comfort and efficiency, and the property sits on a large internal size (approximately 1,989 sqft) with a small front and courtyard garden for outdoor use.
There are important constraints to note: the listed status (Grade II) affects permitted alterations and will complicate renovation or extension plans. The property sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with very high local crime rates; buyers should factor local safety and investment considerations into their decision. Local secondary provision includes an Ofsted ‘Inadequate’ rating at the nearby academy, which may matter to families. The plot is modest and some internal updating may be desired to modernise finishes throughout.
This freehold home will suit buyers seeking a spacious period residence with secure parking and strong character, and those comfortable managing a listed property within a busy urban, student-influenced area. It offers long-term potential for owner-occupiers who prioritise central convenience or investors aware of the local market dynamics.
