Does NN4 flood?

Yes — parts of the NN4 district carry real flood risk: 3 of its 96 at-risk postcodes reach the Environment Agency's High likelihood band. The NN4 postcode district covers Far Cotton, Delapre & Briar Hill, Hunsbury, Nene Valley, Upton, close to Northampton, Great Houghton, Duston, and surrounding villages in West Northamptonshire.

96 postcodes in the NN4 district appear in the Environment Agency's rivers-and-sea flood-risk dataset — worst bands: 3 high, 4 medium, 65 low, 24 very low. A postcode not listed here has no properties in any recorded risk band (which is good news, but never proof it cannot flood).
