Loved by the same family for over 50 years, this three-bedroom semi offers a rare mix of character and practical updates, including a recently replaced roof. The bay-front lounge with a wood-burning stove flows through to a traditional dining room, and the extended kitchen gives everyday space for cooking and family life. Low-maintenance paved gardens and a greenhouse make outdoor care easy.
The house is liveable now but needs renovation and modernising in places — ideal for someone who wants to improve gradually while living in the property. At about 919 sq ft across multiple storeys, the layout suits a couple or small family looking for flexible space; there is a separate WC plus a single bathroom on the first floor. Garage potential and proximity to town, North Bay and Peasholm add convenience and lifestyle appeal.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is freehold, has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and carries no flood risk. The neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with average crime levels, so buyers should weigh local social context. The house’s character features and scope for refurbishment present clear value for those wanting a central Scarborough home with scope to add value.
Nearby schools include several rated Good, offering options for families. This property will suit downsizers or buyers seeking a project with immediate occupancy, comfortable period features and a strong location close to seaside amenities and the town centre.
