Summary - Flat 1, 13, Prince of Wales Terrace YO11 2AL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Period character apartment with lift access and strong rental potential.
Sea-facing bay windows with panoramic coastal views
Set on Scarborough’s South Cliff, this two-bedroom period apartment pairs high ceilings and bay windows with broad south-facing sea views. The living/dining room is generous at roughly 16'3" x 17'9", and the well-equipped modern kitchen and lift access make daily life straightforward. At about 880 sqft, the flat feels larger than many town alternatives and is offered as a freehold, a rarity for flats.
The building shows classic Victorian character — red brickwork, tall windows and period detailing — which will appeal to buyers who value style and location. Practical strengths include double glazing (post-2002), mains gas central heating, an EPC C rating and an estimated rental income of about £850pcm (around 7% gross yield), making it suitable for both first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors.
Be clear on the material issues: the building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, the wider neighbourhood records above-average crime and very high area deprivation, and the apartment shows signs of cosmetic wear with potential damp in parts of the living room. Annual service charges are approximately £1,500. Council Tax band C and an EPC C are positive but this is not a turnkey luxury property — some updating and targeted improvements (insulation, damp investigation) would be prudent.
For buyers seeking a characterful coastal base with strong transport links, bay-front amenities and good broadband/mobile coverage, this apartment offers a compelling balance of space, views and investment potential. For those prioritising low-crime, affluent surroundings or a fully refurbished finish, further comparison will be needed.
