Affordable two-bed terrace near Rushden town centre — ideal first purchase or investment.
No upward chain; freehold mid-terrace Victorian property
This mid-terrace Victorian house offers a genuinely affordable entry into Rushden town centre with no upward chain and freehold tenure. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and two good-size first-floor bedrooms with a bathroom — practical living space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor.
The property needs some modernisation: attention required to parts of the roof, guttering, a kitchen window and general internal redecoration. The rear garden and two brick outbuildings also require repair but present scope for useful storage or conversion subject to planning and budget. Walls are solid brick (likely lacking insulation) so expect refurbishment costs if improving energy performance.
Located within walking distance of the town centre, shops, schools and Hall Park, this terraced home benefits from fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a C70 energy rating. It sits on a small plot in an area with higher crime and local deprivation indicators, which may affect resale or rental premiums — offset in part by very low council tax and competitive asking price. Overall, this is a practical, value-led purchase for someone prepared to carry out targeted repairs and cosmetic updating.
