This four-bedroom detached house on a sought-after corner plot offers practical, move-in-ready family accommodation close to Scarborough Hospital. Recent improvements include new windows, new external doors, redecoration in most rooms and new lounge carpeting, so little immediate work is needed. Chain-free and reintroduced after completion of these works, it’s ready for new owners to settle in promptly.
The ground floor provides flexible living with a dual-aspect lounge, separate dining room and kitchen/breakfast room, plus a downstairs WC and rear lobby with garden access. Upstairs there are four well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom; the layout suits a growing family or those needing separate reception space for home working.
Outside, wraparound lawns, established shrubs and a decent plot give room for children and pets, while a driveway and detached double garage offer ample parking and storage. The property dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, with cavity walls and assumed partial insulation and a mains gas boiler with radiators.
Practical factors to note: the property is compact for a four-bedroom home and has only one bathroom, council tax is above average, and local recorded crime levels are high. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the location provides easy access to schools, shops, public transport and healthcare — a balanced choice for families prioritising convenience and immediate usability over extensive modernisation.
