A compact two-bedroom first-floor flat overlooking West Square, offered with a long lease and modest running costs. The apartment combines period exterior features with a contemporary open-plan living/kitchen and an updated bathroom, making it ready to occupy or let immediately. Its small overall size suits a first-time buyer, bolt-hole or buy-to-let investor looking for an affordable entry into Scarborough.
Practical details include 980 years remaining on the lease, an average annual service charge of about £1,164, and very low council tax (band A). Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building has solid brick walls likely without insulation, so running costs in winter can be higher than modern insulated homes.
Location is central with immediate access to transport links, shops and local amenities — useful for commuters or renters. However, the immediate area records very high crime levels and ranks as very deprived, which will affect appeal to some buyers and could influence rental demand and insurance costs. No flood risk is recorded.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, low-maintenance flat in a handsome Georgian building. It suits buyers prioritising location and low purchase price over space and who accept the local area’s social challenges and the property’s electric heating and solid-wall construction.
