Summary - 32 FLAT 4 ESPLANADE GARDENS SCARBOROUGH YO11 2AP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Affordable freehold flat minutes from Scarborough’s historic esplanade, chain free.
Freehold one-bedroom flat, chain free
This one-bedroom first-floor flat in Esplanade Gardens offers a rare freehold opportunity close to Scarborough’s historic seafront. The apartment is light and practical, with generous living-room proportions and new UPVC double-glazed sash tilt windows that improve warmth and reduce street noise. Communal gardens and nearby amenities make everyday life straightforward.
The property suits a first-time buyer or couple seeking an affordable seaside base with no onward chain. Heating is electric via room heaters, so running costs can be higher than gas-heated homes; the building’s solid brick walls likely lack insulation and could benefit from improvement work to reduce bills. Annual maintenance at £964.92 covers building insurance, communal upkeep and safety checks; pets and long-term tenancies are allowed but holiday lets are not permitted.
Practical issues are clear and factual: the property is in a very deprived area with higher local crime, and the flat uses electric heating rather than a central system. These factors affect running costs and resale considerations but are offset by the low purchase price, freehold status, chain-free sale and a strong coastal location. For buyers willing to invest in insulation or modern heating, the flat offers good scope to increase comfort and value.
Viewing is recommended for those prioritising location, affordability and character over turnkey modern systems. The layout and sizeable living room give flexibility to personalise the interior, while communal gardens and proximity to shops, transport and the esplanade add everyday convenience.
