Set on the second floor of a mid‑20th century building, this two‑bedroom flat offers an affordable step onto the Scarborough market. The layout is compact and practical, with a bright living room, kitchen with a small balcony, two bedrooms and a bathroom. A bedroom balcony overlooks Peasholm Park and the property sits within well‑kept communal gardens.
Practical benefits include a garage for off‑street parking, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and a freehold title. Broadband and mobile signal in the area are strong and the property has an energy efficiency profile suited to economical running costs.
Buyers should be aware of material local factors: the area is classified as very deprived with above‑average crime rates, and the building dates from the 1950s–60s so some elements may be dated or require maintenance over time. There is an annual maintenance agreement costing £950 that covers building insurance, communal upkeep and gardening.
For a first‑time buyer or investor seeking seaside proximity and outdoor access, this flat presents good potential — walking distance to North Bay and Peasholm Park, with local amenities close by. The combination of freehold status, communal gardens and a garage gives practical upside, but buyers should factor local social conditions and possible retrofit/maintenance needs into their plans.
