Summary - 101, PROSPECT MOUNT ROAD, SCARBOROUGH YO12 6EW
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Development
Large redevelopment plot suitable for specialist retirement housing or conversion.
- Freehold former care home on c.1.06 acres (approx 20,898 sqft)
A substantial former care home occupying about 1.06 acres in north Scarborough, offered freehold with a guide price of OIRO £550,000. The broadly L-shaped masonry building extends to approximately 20,898 sqft and sits prominently at the junction of Prospect Mount Road and Woodland Grove, close to local amenities and under a mile from Scarborough Railway Station. Vehicular access is from Prospect Mount Road to a non-lined tarmac car park; surrounding land is turfed grass with an on-site electrical substation.
The site is subject to a restrictive covenant limiting use to over-55s housing, making it suitable for retirement housing or specialist residential redevelopment. The building has communal services, gas-fired central heating to panel radiators, smoke/fire detectors and emergency lighting; however there are no passenger lifts and vertical movement is by stairs only. One accessible ramp was installed in 2005 (planning ref 04/02634/CC), with two other ramps of unknown origin.
Significant refurbishment or redevelopment is required to bring the property back into operational use or convert it to an alternative over‑55s scheme. The structure is mid‑20th century institutional in character, with flat roof coverings, mixed glazing and UPVC paneling; the property will suit a buyer prepared to manage upgrades, compliance work and potential planning for change of layout. The site is not elected for VAT and is sold freehold.
Location advantages include good vehicular and public-transport links (regular bus routes adjacent, railway station about 1 mile), proximity to Scarborough Hospital, and local shops and services. Counterbalancing factors are the area's high levels of deprivation, average crime statistics, no internal or external photographs in the listing, and the need for a full survey to confirm condition, services, and any remediation costs.
