Summary - Apartment 25 Sycamore Court, 26, Filey Road, SCARBOROUGH YO11 2DZ
1 bed 1 bath Apartment
Purpose-built retirement flat with onsite care, bistro and long lease.
Larger-than-average one-bedroom apartment with walk-out balcony
A larger-than-average one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a purpose-built retirement development, ideal for someone looking to downsize without losing convenience. The flat has a walk-out balcony, an airy open-plan living/dining area, a generous fitted kitchen and a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe. Onsite facilities include 24-hour estate management and care staff, an on-site bistro, guest suite and mobility-scooter charging.
This apartment suits buyers seeking low-maintenance, community-centred living close to Scarborough’s South Cliff attractions. Practical benefits include full-fibre broadband, lift access, a weekly hour of domestic help and built-in emergency call systems. The long lease (circa 993–999 years) gives security of tenure and the development sits a short walk from local shops, bus stops and seafront green spaces.
Be aware of the material running costs and heating arrangement. The annual service charge is substantial (£10,894.36 for the year to 31/08/2026) and there is an annual ground rent of £435. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a communal gas system, which may affect energy bills. Parking is off-street but subject to availability. Crime levels in the area are recorded as above average — worth factoring into location suitability and personal security plans.
Overall this is a well-equipped retirement apartment offering social facilities, onsite care options and move-in convenience for a downsizer who values community and access to nearby coastal amenities, provided they accept the higher service charge and electric heating setup.
