East Park Parade, Northampton, NN1

This rarely available Grade II* Listed apartment converted from a Victorian townhouse is not to be missed!

Overlooking the historic Racecourse, this one bedroom first floor apartment benefits from a communal garden and dates back to 1890 when the double bay fronted townhouse was first built. The property is steeped in history and period features, which were preserved when the apartments were converted in 2004.

The apartment has over 700 sq. ft. of accommodation, original features, and over 11 ft high ceilings throughout.

Upon entering, you will find the kitchen in front of you with a large lounge/dining room through a door to the right. This stunning room is the most attractive aspect of the property; being well over 30 sq meters in size, dual aspect, featuring not one but two separate bay windows, exposed floorboards, ornate coving and a ceiling rose. It further includes an open fireplace.

Along the hallway to the right, you will then come to the three-piece bathroom and the large master bedroom.

Externally, the property shares access to a large communal garden, with the opportunity to lease off-road parking/a garage, subject to application with freeholder.
Viewing in person is a must to fully appreciate what this apartment has to offer.

Sellers comments:
"I love the large windows which let in so much light throughout the day. The views over the local park through the seasons are incredible from the living room windows and I really enjoyed being high enough to see the birds in the treetops.
In every room, the amazing character from years gone by tell the house's tale, from the servant bell by the fireplace to the stained glass windows"

The area of Kingsley derived it's name from it's 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, which provide a wide variety of shops ranging from restaurants to tattoo studios and everything in-between.
Residents can easily access Northampton town centre for additional shops and entertainment venues being only a mile away, including a train station with mainline services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street.
