This two-bedroom terraced house in Rothwell, Northamptonshire, is listed at £150,000. The property is located on Gladstone Street, a residential street that appears to contain mostly terraced housing. Its proximity to Rothwell Junior School and Rothwell Victoria Infant School, both rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted, and a library, is a notable plus for families with young children. Kettering, providing additional amenities and transport connections (East Midlands Railway), is approximately 8.47 km away, making car travel essential.

The property’s condition appears to be fair. While habitable, the images reveal some cosmetic issues, such as paint discoloration and potentially dated fixtures. Renovation or modernisation would likely improve the property’s overall appeal and market value. The available interior images show the need for updating and potential maintenance. While the size of the garden is not specified, the pictures suggest the exterior could benefit from some landscaping.

While the given square footage is 406.88 sqft, the comparison with nearby properties is difficult due to missing square footage information for many of the listed comparable sales. The listed price of £150,000 may reflect the overall state of the property and the fact that some updating is needed to realise full market value. Other properties on Gladstone Street have sold for less, while properties on nearby streets are more expensive indicating the property is priced reasonably considering its location and condition. Overall, this property presents an opportunity for potential buyers who are looking for a project and are willing to invest time and effort into modernisation. The proximity to schools and amenities make it suitable for a family, while the need for renovations may be a deterrent for some buyers.

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