Set on Queens Parade in Scarborough’s North Bay, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat pairs Victorian character with compact, sensible living. Large bay windows and high ceilings give the principal rooms a bright, airy feel, and the living room faces the seafront, making this a coastal home with genuine location appeal. The apartment footprint (about 760 sq ft) suits a first home or long-term rental.
The property is sold chain free and is leasehold with a long lease reported (details show around 169 years remaining; prospective buyers should verify in legal packs). Service charges are approximately £1,346 per year, paid quarterly. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; the building is solid brick and will likely benefit from targeted updating in places.
Importantly, the property cannot be used as a commercial holiday let, but it is permitted as a private second home or long-term let. The area offers excellent broadband, nearby parks and cultural amenities, and easy access to the seafront. Buyers should note the neighbourhood indicators: higher crime levels and significant area deprivation — factors to weigh for families or those seeking quiet residential streets.
Overall this is a practical, well-located coastal flat with character and rental potential, best suited to first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors seeking a longer-term tenant, or those wanting a seaside base who accept some updating and local area challenges.
