- Compact footprint (~407 sq ft); best as holiday home or let

A compact top-floor flat in a Grade II listed Georgian terrace, directly opposite Crescent Gardens and a short walk from Filey’s beach and town centre. The freehold, chain-free apartment offers period character and straightforward accommodation: living room, small kitchen, bedroom and shower room across about 407 sq ft. Excellent mobile signal and nearby train links add practical appeal for short-stay lets or a low-maintenance seaside bolt hole.
The property needs renovation and updating: heating is by night storage heaters, room proportions are modest and the attic/top-floor location involves several flights of stairs with no lift. Listed status and the conservation-area location mean alterations will be restricted and could complicate works or future conversions. The building’s Grade II listing is a material factor for buyers planning major changes.
This flat suits an investor, holiday-home buyer or buyer wanting a compact seaside base who can accept stairs and modest internal space. The freehold tenure is unusual for a flat and removes leasehold-related costs, while very low council tax helps running costs. Be mindful that the immediate area records above-average crime statistics and high local deprivation — factor these into rental and resale assumptions.
Overall, the property is a characterful, affordable entry to Filey’s seafront market for someone prepared to invest modestly in refurbishment and to work within listed-building constraints. Its position on The Crescent and proximity to amenities and transport give it clear short-term rental or holiday-home potential, provided purchasers budget for updates and limited access constraints.
