Spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat in a Victorian building on Scarborough’s popular South Side. At about 901 sq ft this apartment benefits from high ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and sole-use enclosed gardens — a rare outside space for a flat. The location offers easy access to the town centre, beach and local schools, making it suitable as a permanent home or a holiday let.
Practical extras include UPVC double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and the possibility of creating off-street parking via the gravel area and double gates to the back lane. The property is freehold with a deed of covenant and a maintenance agreement costing approximately £800 per year (below average). Letting and pets are reportedly permitted, but buyers should confirm via their solicitor.
Buyers should note the building is Victorian with solid brick walls and no built-in insulation (as assumed), so energy-efficiency improvements may be required. The wider area is classified as deprived / hampered aspiration with ageing urban communities; crime is average. These factors, plus the modest annual maintenance agreement, are relevant when assessing running costs and future resale or rental potential.
Overall this is a large, characterful flat with outdoor space and seaside convenience. It will particularly suit first-time buyers seeking room and a garden, or investors who want a sizeable rental in a popular coastal town, provided they budget for potential fabric or insulation upgrades.
