Summary - ALBION COURT FLAT 33 ALBION PLACE NORTHAMPTON NN1 1UG
2 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Chain-free two-bedroom flat close to theatres, shops and transport.
Top-floor corner apartment with lift access to all floors
A well-presented top-floor corner apartment in a purpose-built over-55s development, Albion Court places retirement living in Northampton’s Cultural Quarter. The dual-aspect lounge, two bedrooms with built-in storage and a modern shower room make this a comfortable, easy-care home for downsizers wanting town-centre convenience. Lift access to all floors, a residents’ car park, communal lounge, laundry and gardens add practical day-to-day support and social options.
Practical strengths include a 24-hour emergency careline, video entry system, double glazing and an Energy Rating C. At about 639 sq ft the flat is a modest, manageable size for one or two occupants; the building’s construction (McCarthy & Stone, 1996–2002) and communal facilities support independent retirement living.
Buyers should note the cost of ownership: an above-average annual service charge (£5,276.12) and an expensive ground rent (£645.38) increase ongoing outgoings. Heating is via electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can affect running costs, and the lease has 98 years remaining. The location is very central with excellent mobile signal and many nearby amenities, but the immediate area records higher crime and general deprivation, which may concern some purchasers.
Offered chain-free, this apartment suits someone seeking a central, low-maintenance retirement base with onsite community facilities and easy access to shops, theatres and transport links. It is best for buyers prioritising convenience, communal support and a compact, manageable home over spacious private outdoor space or a suburban setting.
