Set on Scarborough’s South Side, this second-floor apartment in Oliver’s View suits investors seeking an easy-to-manage rental or first-time buyers wanting central convenience. The building combines period red-brick character with a contemporary open-plan living space and a Juliet balcony that brings in daylight.
Practical benefits include lift access to all floors, a long lease of around 232 years and chain-free sale. The fitted kitchen has integrated appliances and the apartment includes two bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom, making it flexible for sharers or a small family.
Buyers should note material facts plainly: the flat is electrically heated via room heaters (likely higher running costs than gas), the overall internal area is compact, and the area records higher crime levels and pronounced local deprivation. Annual service charge is approximately £1,243 and holiday letting is prohibited, which will affect short-term rental strategies.
For investors, the location near the train station, Spa, beaches and local amenities supports year-round rental demand from students and professionals. For owner-occupiers, the property offers low maintenance living in a central spot, but buyers should factor running costs and the immediate neighbourhood context into their decision.
