    52 Christchurch Road Abington | Northampton | NN1 5LN 52 CHRISTCHURCH ROAD This extremely attractive mid-terrace family home enjoys a superb park side setting just a few minutes from the bustling town centre of Northampton. “The house was designed in 1923 by Alex Anderson who was a colleague of renowned architect Rennie Mackintosh, and it’s a property that my wife and I had admired for many years before we were lucky enough to own it,” says David. “We would often pass by on our way to Abington Park, which is just across the road, and we always said that if it ever came onto the market we wouldn’t hesitate to put in an offer. It was on one of those walks in 2002 that we noticed the For Sale sign so we immediately booked in a viewing and purchased the house just a few weeks later, and we’ve loved every minute of our time here.” A beautifully presented three storey mid terraced house lo- cated on one of the most sought after and prestigious roads in Abington with direct views overlooking Abington Park. The house was built in the 1920's designed by Alexander Anderson and unusually still retains all its period original features includ- ing leaded glass windows and fireplaces, it has been extended and modernised over the years with a superb family kitchen/ dining room and a third floor master bedroom with access to a roof terrace. On the ground floor is a welcoming entrance hallway with the original staircase and tiled floor. There are two separate reception rooms, the sitting room to the front has a deep bay window, original fireplace and built in cupboards, the dining room to the rear again has its original features, fireplace and doors opening to the rear garden.

Some have even been placing tenants in converted outbuildings or vacant commercial premises. This behaviour can have a huge impact on neighbourhoods increasing refuse, noise and in some cases antisocial behaviour and also places pressure on local services. The Administration is committed to working to address these problems alongside other agencies and is currently recruiting additional team members to show our commitment to achieving zero tolerance. Council notes the work being done by the housing and homelessness charity, Shelter, and supports Shelter’s Evict Rogue Landlords campaign and commits to doing all we can to stamp out rogue landlords in our local authority”.
