Strong rental potential in a characterful seaside location with room for energy improvements.
- Freehold top‑floor flat with coastal and castle views
- Two double bedrooms and spacious lounge, 672 sq ft
- Double glazed windows; front rooms capture sea outlook
- EPC F; electric room heaters and likely poor insulation
- Timber‑frame walls (as built) with assumed no insulation
- High local crime rate and very deprived area statistics
- Deed of covenant: no holiday lets; pets not allowed
- Service charge £990; council tax band very low
An upper‑floor two-bedroom apartment in a classic Georgian terrace, offered freehold with far-reaching coastal and castle outlooks. The living room and front-facing kitchen both capture the sea view, while two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom provide comfortable accommodation across approximately 672 sq ft. Double glazed windows help with noise and heat retention.
This property presents a clear buy-to-let opportunity: advertised potential rent and a gross yield around 7% make it attractive for investors. Its proximity to Scarborough North Bay, local amenities and the station supports rental demand. The apartment’s elevated position and period facade also give strong kerb appeal for guests or tenants seeking seaside character.
Be upfront about the running costs and improvement needs. EPC rating F, electric room heaters and timber-frame walls with assumed no insulation mean higher energy costs and likely upgrade work. The area records high crime and very high deprivation, which can affect tenancy choice and insurance. Service charge and council tax are low, but the deed of covenant restricts holiday lets and pets, which limits some rental options. This is a value purchase best suited to landlords willing to invest in energy improvements and tenant screening, or buyers seeking a seaside second home with work planned.
