Summary - 194 WEST COTTON CLOSE SOUTHBRIDGE NORTHAMPTON NN4 8BY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable city-edge flat near town centre and university.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, about 563 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers straightforward, affordable entry to Northampton living. At about 563 sq ft, the layout includes a lounge/diner, compact kitchen and bathroom — all suited to a single occupant, couple or sharers. Allocated off-street parking and double glazing add everyday convenience, while the property’s proximity to the town centre and university campus gives clear rental and commuter appeal.
Financially, the home is competitively priced at £145,000 with a long lease (around 128 years remaining). Expect an annual service charge (c. £2,448) and a small ground rent (c. £125); council tax is described as affordable. Heating runs off electricity via a boiler and radiators — suitable for modern apartments but worth checking running costs during viewing.
Buyers should note practical downsides: the overall internal space is small, the surrounding area scores as deprived with a higher local crime rate, and the apartment is within a multi-unit block so communal maintenance and charges apply. These are material for owner-occupiers seeking quiet suburban streets but less likely to deter investors or first-time buyers prioritising location and price.
This property will suit first-time buyers wanting a low-entry home near central amenities or landlords targeting students and professionals. Viewings are recommended with attention to service-charge accounts, running costs, and communal condition to confirm long-term suitability.
