Enjoy coastal living with practical support in this freshly redecorated two-bedroom retirement apartment. Positioned on the third (top) floor, the home offers clear views towards Scarborough Castle and the sea from the living room and bedrooms, and benefits from private external storage and a larger corner parking space. The development includes 24-hour on-site staffing, an on-site bistro, guest suite, lift access, laundry and mobility scooter charging facilities — helpful everyday conveniences for downsizers.
The apartment has a spacious lounge with juliet balcony, a fully fitted kitchen, walk-in wardrobe to the main bedroom, and an accessible level walk-in shower. One hour of domestic help per week is included in the service package. The long lease (circa 992–999 years) provides security of tenure and the property is offered chain free for an easier move.
Important costs and practical points: the annual service charge is high (£14,228.71 for the year to 30/09/2026) and a ground rent of £510 per year applies. Heating is electric via room heaters rather than gas central heating; prospective buyers should factor ongoing running costs into their budget. The development is in a town with above-average crime levels, so purchasers should consider local safety and security arrangements.
Well suited to active retirees seeking social amenities on-site and seaside views, this apartment combines low-movement living with useful communal services. Renovation needs are minimal due to recent redecoration, but buyers should check individual specifications and any further costs linked to communal upkeep before committing.
