Priced competitively at £140,000, this three-bedroom mid-terrace Victorian townhouse offers a large internal footprint (approximately 1,312 sq ft) in a convenient Scarborough location. The layout includes a bay-fronted sitting room, through dining room, kitchen, family bathroom and a loft bedroom — practical accommodation for first-time buyers wanting space without high running costs. Council tax is very cheap and the home benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The property is solid brick (circa 1900–1929) and retains period character in the façade and bay window. Internally the presentation is tidy with some modern finishes such as new flooring and radiators, but there is clear scope for value uplift through kitchen and bathroom modernisation, improved insulation and redecoration. A small private rear yard provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
Buyers should be aware this house sits in a more deprived neighbourhood and crime levels are average; the local demographic is largely renters in terraces and flats. The walls are assumed to be solid brick with no built-in insulation, so upgrading thermal performance may be necessary to reduce heating costs. There is a single bathroom for three bedrooms and external grounds are limited.
For a first-time buyer seeking a spacious starter home or a small-scale investor, this terrace offers immediate occupation and clear potential to increase value with targeted improvements. Its location close to shops, schools, public transport, town centre and the seafront adds everyday convenience and rental appeal.
