Low-maintenance city flat with parking and long lease — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Compact one-bedroom flat, c.347–369 sq ft
Set on Royal Crescent Lane, this compact one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into Scarborough with practical, low-maintenance living. The layout includes a cosy reception room, separate kitchen and a modern bathroom; electric underfloor heating and a newly installed consumer unit add contemporary convenience. An allocated covered parking space is a rare plus for a city-centre apartment.
The property is leasehold with a very long lease (955 years), low annual service charge (£250) and modest ground rent (£25), making running costs predictable. At around 347–369 sq ft, the flat is small but well maintained and suits a single occupant, couple, or buy-to-let investor seeking simple, immediate rental potential.
Be candid: the flat sits within a very deprived area with a higher-than-average crime level, and there’s no private garden — outlook is onto a communal parking courtyard. Rooms are compact and the property’s setting is urban rather than coastal; those seeking spacious accommodation, quiet suburbs or scenic sea views should look elsewhere.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase for a first-time buyer or investor who values low upkeep, secure covered parking and clear holding costs. Viewing will best show the flat’s proportions and condition so prospective buyers can judge suitability for everyday living or rental use.
