I live 4 miles away from wellingborough, and know the area well.
Minerva way is in the Queensway estate, you are right. If I am frank, it is not a great area. Mostly council and rental properties, not that this is a problem necessarily, but in this case it is, if you get what I mean.
Every few houses though, there is a property that is well-kept and obviously looked after. The houses themselves are of a reasonable size, good size bedrooms etc, garden etc
The low prices are due to the fact that it is not a very popular area to buy.
For roughly the same amount of money, I would go for the older part of town, terraced victorian streets. Still have some issues, but if you look carefully you can find a nice one, and it would be a better area to be in.
Hope I havent offended anyone, I have some family that live in the queensway estate - so I am not being a snob!!!0 -
many thanks for the reply, and info greatly appreciated, i also hear thats its not the best of places but far better than Hemmingwell area !!0
