Ready-made coastal bolt-hole with low council tax and permitted holiday lets..
Direct coastal and castle views from the bay-windowed living area.
Set on the second floor, this two-double-bedroom flat delivers direct coastal outlooks over Scarborough’s North Bay and castle. The open-plan living/kitchen area and bay window make the most of the panorama, while modern fittings mean the property is ready to use from day one.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (999 years from 2015, effectively 994 years remaining), a share in the freehold, and permitted holiday letting and pets—features that suit buy-to-let or holiday-home buyers. The service charge is £1,125.10 per year with a £100 reserve fee; council tax is reported as cheap.
Buyers should note clear, factual drawbacks: the building sits in a very deprived area with a high crime indicator, and local primary schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes. These local factors may affect long-term rental levels and resale appeal. The apartment itself is described as being in immaculate order, but the surrounding neighbourhood context is an important consideration.
Overall, this flat will suit investors or buyers seeking a turnkey coastal bolt-hole with strong tourist appeal. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the front-facing sea and castle vistas and the open-plan living space.
