Summary - 5 COOKS ROW SCARBOROUGH YO11 1QE
4 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful three-storey cottage moments from harbour and seafront.
Chain-free former fisherman’s cottage in Old Town location
Former fisherman’s cottage in Scarborough Old Town, offered chain-free and well presented over three floors. The house is compact but deceptively roomy, with traditional character, UPVC double glazing and gas central heating providing year-round comfort. Its central location places the harbour, seafront and local amenities a minute’s walk away, making it suitable as a family home, holiday retreat or investment property.
Accommodation includes lounge, kitchen/diner with built-in oven and hob, bathroom with a shower, three double bedrooms and one single bedroom arranged across ground, first and attic floors. Outside space is limited to a small enclosed rear courtyard; there are partial distant harbour/sea views from upper floors. The single bathroom and narrow footprint reflect the property’s older terraced layout.
Practical points to note: the mid/late Edwardian/early 20th-century brick walls are likely uninsulated as built, so buyers should consider insulation and energy improvements. The area is very deprived with higher local crime rates, and rooms are modest in size — maintenance and upgrading potential exists rather than a move-in luxury. Council tax is low and broadband speeds are fast, which supports holiday-let or rental use.
Overall this is an affordable, characterful town-centre cottage in a prime Old Town spot. It will appeal to buyers wanting immediate access to coastal amenities, investors seeking short-let potential, or families who prioritise location over extensive outdoor space. Important negatives are compact internal space, limited external amenity and the social challenges of the surrounding area; these are balanced by the low asking price and no onward chain.
