This third-floor one-bedroom apartment occupies a prime position on Prince of Wales Terrace, moments from Scarborough’s South Bay. Large bay windows flood the open-plan kitchen and living area with light and frame uninterrupted sea views — a genuine standout for holiday stays or a lettable coastal home. Lift access and a long lease (997 years) simplify ownership and appeal to investors or buyers seeking a low-hassle seaside base.
The layout is straightforward and well-proportioned: a generous double bedroom, a modern bathroom and an efficient entrance hallway. The building offers a small garden and garage parking, useful extras in a central seafront location. The property is offered with no onward chain and some furniture is available by separate negotiation, making this a quick purchase option.
Buyers should note material considerations: the flat relies on electric room heaters, which can be more costly than gas central heating, and broadband speeds are only average. The surrounding ward shows high crime levels and considerable area deprivation, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. Holiday lets are permitted, and the vendor’s guidance suggests a potential rental of about £700 pcm (approx. 7% gross yield), making the property attractive to buy-to-let purchasers who accept the local market profile.
Overall, this compact seafront apartment offers immediate coastal appeal and investment potential thanks to its views, lift access and very long lease. It suits an investor or buyer wanting a lock-up-and-leave holiday base, provided they factor in higher running costs from electric heating and local area considerations.
