A ground-floor two-bedroom flat in a 1960s purpose-built block, offered chain-free and ready to occupy. The apartment has been updated to a modern standard, benefits from large front-facing windows and wood-style flooring in the living room, and connects to communal rear gardens. Cavity wall insulation and double glazing improve energy performance, but heating is by electric storage heaters so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes.
The layout is practical: a spacious living room, fitted kitchen with some integrated appliances, two double bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom. At around 743 sq ft the accommodation suits buyers seeking a low-stairs home in central Scarborough — particularly downsizers or investors looking for straightforward, rentable accommodation. There is a maintenance agreement with an average service charge of about £1,020 per year and the property is freehold.
Location is a key selling point. Situated in the Falsgrave area on Scalby Road, the flat is close to shops, supermarkets, schools, bus routes and parks, with Scarborough town centre and hospital within easy reach. The surrounding neighbourhood is classified as ageing urban with higher local crime levels and wider area deprivation; prospective buyers should weigh this when considering long-term suitability or rental prospects.
Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the internal space and condition. The building is mid‑century in character and while the apartment offers modern fixtures, buyers should note the electric heating system and confirm tenure/maintenance details and any management rules with their solicitor prior to exchange.
