Set on Scarborough’s sought-after South Side, this fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment combines coastal outlooks with low-maintenance living. The living room opens onto a balcony with side sea views, complemented by double glazing, gas central heating and a passenger lift for easy access. The fit-out is tidy and move-in ready, including a modern bathroom with a jacuzzi function and built-in bedroom storage.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with an exceptionally long 988-year lease remaining. The building is a Victorian terrace with period character, communal gardens and a communal entrance. The flat is compact at around 671 sq ft, making it practical for downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a coastal location within walking distance of shops, cafes, transport links and Scarborough station.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, and parking is limited to permit on-street spaces. The building’s original sandstone/limestone construction likely lacks wall insulation, so buyers should expect possible energy-efficiency improvements and carrying out any desired works. Overall, this apartment offers a comfortable, low-upkeep base with clear rental or retirement appeal, provided buyers accept the local area and parking constraints.
