This two-bedroom terraced house located on Bailiff Street in Northampton presents a mixed bag. The property’s proximity to the town centre and several schools, including well-rated options like Northampton International Academy and Castle Academy (both within 0.6km) makes it an attractive option for families, students, or those who value urban convenience. The nearby Northampton train station (1.57km) further enhances its accessibility.

Internally, the property shows a blend of renovated and unrenovated areas. While the bathroom appears to be newly fitted, showcasing a contemporary design, other areas, such as the kitchen and some bedrooms, appear somewhat dated or in need of minor improvements. The overall internal condition is fair, though not outstanding.

The most significant drawback is the garden. Photos reveal an unkempt and somewhat overgrown area, limiting its practical use and overall appeal. This requires substantial work. While there is an external space, it lacks the typical appeal of a well-maintained garden.

The list price of £200,000 falls within the broader range of property prices on Bailiff Street. The average property price on the street is significantly higher at £315,000, highlighting the variability of pricing within the area and potential for negotiation. However, given the property’s current condition and small garden, the list price seems relatively fair but not exceptional value. Buyers should carefully assess the cost of necessary garden renovations and any desired internal updates before making an offer.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
