- Two bedrooms, two bathrooms; principal bedroom with en-suite
- Contemporary kitchen and modern bathrooms, largely move-in ready
- Lower-ground (basement) flat—reduced natural light compared with upper floors

This well-presented lower-ground apartment offers an unusually complete package for downsizers: private entrance, own garden and a powered private garage. The layout includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite), a contemporary kitchen and a comfortable living room with French doors. At about 776 sq ft, the apartment feels roomy for its category and is offered freehold.
The building dates from before 1900 and sits on a desirable South Cliff street close to local shops, cafés and transport. Gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and modern bathrooms mean the property is largely move-in ready. Council tax is very inexpensive, and there is no local flood risk.
Practical issues to note: the flat is lower-ground/basement level, so natural light will be more limited than upper-floor flats. The building has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so future insulation or energy-efficiency improvements may be desirable. Local crime levels are above average, which should be considered when assessing security and insurance costs.
For buyers seeking easy single-level living near Scarborough’s seafront, this home balances comfort, outdoor space and parking — uncommon for apartments in the area. It suits someone wanting a low-maintenance base with potential to improve energy performance and personalise finishes.
