Summary - KENWOOD HOUSE, 83 - 85 FLAT 4 QUEENS PARADE SCARBOROUGH YO12 7HH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful two-bedroom starter flat with parking and long lease near amenities.
Panoramic North Bay and Scarborough Castle views from large bay window
Set on the first floor of a Grade II listed seafront block, this two-bedroom flat delivers sweeping North Bay and Scarborough Castle views from a large Victorian bay window. The living room’s period proportions and tall ceilings create a bright, welcoming space, while an open archway leads through to a modern fitted kitchen with dining area — a comfortable layout for everyday living.
Practical positives include an allocated off-street parking space, lift access to all floors and an exceptionally long lease (around 965–999 years remaining). The property is modestly sized at about 704 sq ft and benefits from mains gas central heating and secondary glazing, making it ready to occupy with minimal immediate works.
Important considerations are factual and significant: the building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate permissions; there is an annual maintenance charge (circa £1,073) and a small ground rent (£10). The local area shows higher crime levels and some social deprivation — factors to weigh if schooling, security and neighbourhood character are priorities. Vendor information also indicates holiday lets are not permitted.
This home suits a first-time buyer looking for a characterful coastal base or an owner-occupier seeking all-year seafront living. If you value dramatic sea views and period features over private outdoor space, this flat offers a rare combination of location and long leasehold security — but budget for service charges and accept limitations that come with listed status and the surrounding neighbourhood.
