Low-maintenance, social living close to town and beach for over-60s.
One-bedroom retirement apartment, approximately 405 sq ft
This compact one-bedroom retirement apartment in central Scarborough offers low-maintenance living and strong communal support. Located in Homecrest House, the development includes lift access, a house manager, and a 24-hour emergency Careline — comforting features for residents aged 60+.
The layout includes a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a light lounge open to a compact kitchen, and a fitted bathroom. Electric storage heating keeps the apartment cosy; total internal area is approximately 405 sq ft. The flat is chain-free and comes with mobility scooter charging and dedicated guest accommodation for visitors.
Buyers should note material considerations: the lease has about 59 years remaining, which is short and may prevent many mortgage lenders from offering loans. The annual service charge is high at around £3,400 and parking is on a first-come, first-served basis. The local area shows higher deprivation and above-average crime statistics, so prospective purchasers should factor neighbourhood conditions into their decision.
Overall, this property suits a buyer seeking a secure, social retirement setting very close to Scarborough town centre and South Bay beach, but who can manage lease length constraints and ongoing service costs.
