This third-floor two-bedroom apartment combines a bright open-plan living space with practical, modern fittings and partial sea views. The layout includes a generous L-shaped lounge/diner, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a master bedroom with en-suite, and a second double bedroom — all offered chain-free with vacant possession. The block has lift access and secure communal entry, making day-to-day life easy for commuters and professionals.
The lease is long (232 years) with a modest service charge (£883.40 pa) and low ground rent (£120 pa), which keeps ongoing costs predictable. Note the apartment relies on electric room heaters rather than mains gas; heating costs are likely higher than gas-heated homes. Pets and holiday lets are not permitted and lettings are restricted to Assured Shorthold Tenancies.
Location suits first-time buyers or local professionals who want coastal access and town amenities close by; Scarborough’s cafes, shops and transport links are within easy reach. Be aware the immediate area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher local crime and very high area deprivation — buyers seeking a quieter suburb may wish to view other locations.
The building presents a period exterior and high ceilings in principal rooms, while the apartment itself is modern and well-presented. Some construction details note timber-frame walls with no known insulation (assumed) and double glazing of unknown install date; buyers should consider this for longer-term energy efficiency or improvement plans.
