This striking 1895 Victorian semi-detached house blends original period character with top-quality modern renovation. Over 4,600 sq ft across multiple levels, the home offers five generous en-suite bedrooms, a standout dining room by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and a beautifully converted cellar — ideal as an entertaining space, gym or home office.
Living spaces include a 32-foot bespoke kitchen with island and French doors to a landscaped garden, a generous central reception room with wood burner, and an adaptable lantern-lit entertaining room that opens to the garden. A private roof terrace provides 360-degree views across Northampton, adding rare outdoor living for a city property.
Practical strengths include double glazing (installed 2002+), mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Freehold tenure and a large plot are attractive for families or buyers seeking a grand, move-in-ready Victorian with contemporary comforts.
Notable considerations: the property sits in an area with higher recorded crime and relative local deprivation, and the original solid brick walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation — future energy upgrades may be required. Buyers should also note communal-retirement classification in wider area data, which may influence local services and demographics.
