This second-floor two-bedroom apartment combines Victorian character with modern fittings in Scarborough’s South Cliff. The bay-fronted living room and high ceilings deliver light and period charm, while the kitchen and three‑piece bathroom are contemporary and ready to use. A private storage cupboard and additional communal space add practical value for everyday living.
The flat is compact (circa 479 sq ft) but well laid out for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a seaside bolt‑hole. Tenure is leasehold with an unusually long 959 years remaining, and an annual maintenance charge of approximately £1,130 covers communal upkeep. Council tax is very cheap, and connectivity is strong (fast broadband, excellent mobile signal).
Location is a major draw: minutes from the esplanade and cliff-top walks, close to local shops and regular bus routes into the town centre and station. Local schools nearby include both state and independent options. Be aware the surrounding area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived, which some buyers may consider when assessing long-term prospects.
Overall this is a practical, characterful flat with low running costs and clear rental or owner-occupier potential, but it suits buyers comfortable with a compact footprint and an urban neighbourhood profile.
