A three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offering immediate rental income or straightforward vacant possession. Currently let at £775 pcm (£9,300 pa gross), the freehold property suits investors seeking a low-entry town-centre buy or owner-occupiers willing to modernise. Rooms are modest in scale across three storeys, typical of period terraces in Scarborough.
The house is double-glazed (install date unknown) and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators. External space is limited to a fore-courted front and an enclosed rear courtyard — useful for storage or a small seating area but not a garden. Solid-brick walls are original and likely uninsulated, so improving thermal efficiency would be a sensible upgrade.
Location strengths include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, and walkable access to town-centre amenities, shops and transport links. The surrounding neighbourhood is a cosmopolitan, student-heavy area with a broader classification of a transitional Eastern European community. Note the area indicators: very deprived, with high local crime levels — important for both lettings risk assessment and resale planning.
This property suits buy-to-let investors looking for a turnkey income or buyers prepared to refurbish for rental uplift or improved resale. It’s freehold with very cheap council tax (Band A), no flood risk, and a compact footprint that keeps running costs modest. Significant value-add would come from thermal upgrades, cosmetic modernisation, and targeted security/tenant-management measures.
