This two-bedroom end-of-terrace offers an affordable entry into NN1 with practical living spaces and good local links. The lounge/diner and compact kitchen open to a low-maintenance garden, while a powered, lit cellar gives versatile storage or conversion potential. At 819 sq ft the home suits buyers looking for a manageable urban property close to the town centre, station and Northampton General Hospital.
The house is a Victorian-built solid-brick terrace with double glazing and gas central heating. Bedrooms are usable doubles, and the layout is straightforward for first-time buyers who want a tidy starter home or landlords seeking a lettable unit in a well-connected area. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working and tenant demand.
Be upfront about the neighbourhood and maintenance: the immediate area is classified as deprived with a very high crime level, and nearby schools include some with inadequate Ofsted ratings. The property sits on a small plot and rooms are generally compact; some updating and better insulation (solid walls assumed uninsulated) would improve comfort and energy costs. Buyers should plan for minor to moderate works rather than move-in-perfect finish.
Overall this is a budget-friendly freehold terrace with upside for buyers willing to accept a city-centre location and invest modestly in improvements. It will appeal most to first-time buyers seeking affordability or investors targeting steady rental demand.
