A traditional two-bedroom Edwardian terrace on Seamer Road offered chain-free and ready for new owners. The house retains period character including bay windows and a fireplace, with a practical layout of living room, dining room, kitchen and two first-floor bedrooms.
The location is a core selling point: convenient for local shops, schools and transport links, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The small, low-maintenance rear yard suits buyers wanting minimal outdoor upkeep, and the property is Freehold with very low council tax.
The house does require updating: fittings and decor are dated, the living room shows floral wallpaper and there is potential damp that needs investigating. The solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should factor in energy-efficiency improvements and heating costs despite mains gas boiler and radiators.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into Scarborough who can carry out cosmetic upgrades and targeted repairs. Be aware the immediate area shows high crime levels and significant deprivation; viewings should consider location context alongside the property’s strong connection and broadband amenities.
