Set on the third floor of a handsome Victorian townhouse, this two-bedroom flat sits moments from Scarborough’s South Bay and the Esplanade. A large bay-windowed living and dining room is the home's focal point, filling the space with light and offering a comfortable principal reception for everyday living or entertaining. The flat is offered with no onward chain and is freehold, which simplifies purchase for a first-time buyer.
Internally the layout is straightforward and practical: two bedrooms, a separate long, narrow kitchen and a family bathroom. The property is generally well presented but basic, so buyers can move in straight away and invest selectively in modernising the kitchen or bathroom to increase comfort and value. High ceilings, ornate period detail and bay windows give strong character and curb appeal.
There are important practical points to note. The flat is on the third floor and accessed by stairs only, so it may not suit those needing step-free access. The building is older (pre-1900) with timber-frame walls assumed to lack insulation, and heating is provided by a community mains-gas scheme — buyers should confirm running arrangements and costs. The area is described as very deprived with higher local crime levels, which impacts resale and rental considerations.
Despite drawbacks, the location and character offer clear upside: seaside living, good local amenities and transport links, very low council tax and decent letting demand nearby. For first-time buyers or investors comfortable with a modest programme of updating, this flat presents an affordable coastal entry point with scope to add value through cosmetic improvement and kitchen/bathroom refurbishment.
