Description
Welcome to Hawkins Court, a landmark Victorian building originally constructed in the 1880s. Once the prestigious home of the George Thomas Hawkins factory-renowned for supplying boots to Queen Victoria and the team that first conquered Mount Everest-this iconic site has been sympathetically converted to the highest standard.

This exceptional one-bedroom apartment offers a refined living experience, retaining the original charm of its industrial heritage while providing a sleek, modern finish.

The property features a welcoming entrance hall leading into a light-filled, open-plan lounge, dining, and kitchen area-an ideal space for entertaining. The double bedroom is spacious and tranquil, complemented by a stunning, high-specification shower room finished with premium fixtures.

Ideally positioned for convenience, the apartment is a short distance from Northampton Town Centre, local amenities, and Northampton General Hospital. Commuters are perfectly catered for, with Northampton Train Station offering direct services to London Euston in under an hour.

The building still proudly displays the Royal Warrant granted by Queen Victoria above the main entrance, serving as a reminder of its illustrious past. Whether it’s the history of the Boer War or the legacy of the Mount Everest expedition, living at Hawkins Court means living in a piece of British history.

This property is offered with no onward chain and includes one secure parking space.
