This two-bedroom mews cottage sits in central Scarborough, a short walk from South Bay beach, the train station and local shops. Offered freehold and with no onward chain, the layout includes a ground-floor living room, kitchen/diner, laundry and bathroom, plus two double bedrooms upstairs. Its compact courtyard garden provides private outdoor space in a town-centre setting.
The property’s location gives clear investor appeal: proximity to transport links, local amenities and further education make it suitable for lettings or seasonal rental. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, supporting modern tenants and holiday bookings. Heating is gas-fired with radiators; double glazing was installed post-2002.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. The area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime; this will affect appeal and rental levels for some occupiers. The building is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and is assumed to lack wall insulation, so improving energy efficiency may be necessary. The plot and garden are small, and the cottage is average-sized overall.
This cottage is best suited to investors seeking a town-centre rental or buyers willing to make modest upgrades for improved comfort and value. Internal viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential for refurbishment or income generation.
