This ground-floor one-bedroom flat on Granville Road sits within a Victorian end-terrace and offers a private entrance and a generous living room with high ceilings and period character. The layout is straightforward: separate kitchen, comfortable bedroom and a modern bathroom, all arranged over approximately 488 sq ft — well suited to a single homeowner, couple, or buy-to-let investor seeking an easy-to-manage property.
Practical running costs are attractive: council tax band A and a very long lease (963 years) provide long-term security. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators; double glazing was fitted after 2002. A communal yard provides outside space. Service charge is circa £1,200 pa and there is no ground rent.
Heads-up on condition and location: the kitchen is dated and would benefit from modernisation to improve comfort or rental appeal. The building’s solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation (as built), so owners wanting better thermal performance should budget for upgrades. The EPC is D. Crime in the immediate area is reported above average; buyers should consider this when comparing neighbourhoods.
For investors the numbers are clear: a suggested rental of around £600 pcm would give an approximate 8% gross yield at the guide price. For buyers seeking a compact seaside base close to Scarborough’s amenities and transport links, this property offers period charm and straightforward maintenance needs with scope to add value through cosmetic updating.
