This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment in south Scarborough combines period character with contemporary finishes. Set within a Victorian terrace, it offers high ceilings and bay-window charm alongside a bright open-plan kitchen/living room and a modern shower room. The property is compact at about 402 sq ft but thoughtfully arranged for easy, low-maintenance living.
Practical details suit many buyers: a long lease (992 years), mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed after 2002, and below-average service charge. The loft provides useful storage and small renovation or conversion potential (subject to consents). Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low.
Important considerations: the apartment is small and bedrooms are modest — best for first-time buyers, downsizers, or investors seeking a town-centre let. Crime levels in the area are above average, and the building dates from 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated). Leasehold costs include an annual service charge of £250 and ground rent of £285.
Location strengths include a south-side position close to Scarborough’s Esplanade, Italian Gardens, South Bay and local amenities. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are good. For investors, an estimated rental income of around £750 pcm (approx. 7% gross yield) has been suggested, reflecting steady local rental demand.
