2 bedroom terraced house

A fine example of a Victorian terraced house situated in the vibrant 'Poets Corner' area of Kingsley Park with its range of local amenities. The property has been extensively upgraded and modernised by the previous owners with improvements to include the reversal of stair direction to allow for the inclusion of a shower room to the first floor, the raising and part vaulting of the kitchen ceiling with skylights and downlighters, refitting of the kitchen and bathroom, new floor coverings and redecoration, plus the benefit of gas fired radiator central heating via a combination boiler and double glazing. The accommodation offers entrance, open plan living/dining space, fitted kitchen with door to garden, refitted white bathroom, landing, two double bedrooms and a shower room. Outside space of front courtyard and a good size rear garden with lawn, patio and lean-to outhouse with space for washing machine/tumble dryer. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this lovely home and garden.  EPC Rating: D. Council Tax Band: B

LOCAL AREA INFORMATION

The area of Kingsley derived its name from its position as an outlying corner of Kingsthorpe manor with the main focal point being the Racecourse. This large green open space has defined the development of houses around it and whilst no longer used for spring and autumn racing it is preserved as an open recreation ground. It was also the cessation of racing that led to the Kingsley Park Hotel standing empty for some 18 years and being nicknamed The White Elephant, a name it retains today. The remainder of local facilities are predominantly located along Kingsley Park Terrace and include restaurants, take away foods, general stores, building society, hair salons, car parts and chemist, though residents can access Northampton town centre's additional shops, entertainment venues and facilities a mile away, including a train station with mainline services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.
