Summary - Crown Crescent Cottage, Ramshill Road YO11 2QE
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Characterful three‑bed duplex with sea views — renovation needed, strong rental potential.
Top‑floor duplex with commanding sea and castle views
Compact overall size: approximately 539 sq ft (small)
Three bedrooms but only one bathroom
Electric storage heating; likely higher running costs
Solid brick walls; assumed no insulation, retrofit needed
Low maintenance agreement: approx. £500 per year
Vendor states freehold with deed—confirm tenure legally
Area: very deprived with above‑average crime rates
Set on the top floors of a Victorian semi‑detached building, this compact three‑bed duplex offers commanding views across Scarborough towards the castle and sea. The apartment’s split‑level layout and high ceilings deliver characterful volumes, while dual‑aspect glazing brings natural light into the living room. Communal outside space adds usable exterior area despite being a flat.
The property is presented with dated finishes and will benefit from modernization — potential to create an en‑suite from existing first‑floor eaves storage is a clear value‑add. Heating is by electric storage heaters and walls are solid brick with assumed no insulation, so energy costs and retrofit needs should be factored into any renovation budget.
Practical details: the overall internal size is small at about 539 sq ft; there is one bathroom and a modest annual maintenance agreement of approximately £500. Tenure information provided by the vendor indicates a freehold with a deed of covenant between apartment owners, but this (and permitted uses such as holiday letting or tenancies) should be confirmed with a solicitor before purchase.
This apartment suits investors or buyers looking for a renovation project with strong rental or holiday‑let potential thanks to its central Scarborough location, nearby amenities and transport links, and excellent views. However, buyers should weigh the property’s energy inefficiency, modest floor area and local social indicators — above‑average crime and a very deprived local area — when assessing long‑term value and target market.
