About this home
Prime Choice are pleased to offer for sale this spacious two-bedroom ground-floor apartment within the distinctive Lime Grove development in Rushden, formerly the John White shoe factory. Converted to residential use, the building retains a character quite unlike a conventional apartment block, with an impressive central communal atrium, generous shared spaces and extensive communal gardens surrounding the development.
Offered primarily as an investment opportunity with the existing long-term tenant remaining in occupation, the property has been tenanted since 2016 and currently produces a rental income of £725 per calendar month, equivalent to £8,700 per annum. At the asking price of £135,000, this represents a gross rental yield of approximately 6.4%.
The apartment itself offers approximately 822 sq.ft. of accommodation and is considerably larger than many modern two-bedroom apartments. From the entrance hall, the accommodation includes a generous living room, separate fitted kitchen, an unusually spacious principal bedroom with dressing area, a second bedroom and a substantial bathroom.
Living Room - 4.88m x 4.01m (16'0" x 13'2") - A particularly generous main reception room with plenty of space for both seating and additional furniture. A large window provides good natural light, while the proportions of the room create flexibility for a dining area or home-working space if required.
Kitchen - 3.45m x 2.67m (11'4" x 8'9") - Fitted with a range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and tiled splashbacks. The kitchen includes an oven and hob with extractor over, built-in fridge/freezer and washing machine, together with sink and drainer. A breakfast-bar style area provides additional useful workspace and informal seating.
Bedroom One / Dressing Room - 6.91m x 2.97m (22'8" x 9'9") - An exceptionally long principal bedroom offering considerably more space than would typically be expected in an apartment. Currently utilised as both sleeping and dressing accommodation, the room provides excellent potential for extensive wardrobes, a dressing area or additional study space.
Bedroom Two - 4.75m x 2.06m (15'7" x 6'9") - A useful second bedroom extending to approximately 15ft in length, with a window providing natural light and space for bedroom furniture. Suitable as a child's bedroom, guest room or home office.
Bathroom - 3.45m x 2.21m (11'4" x 7'3") - A generously proportioned bathroom fitted with a white suite comprising bath with thermostatically controlled shower over and glazed shower screen, pedestal wash hand basin and WC. The size of the room provides considerably more space than many apartment bathrooms.
