Freehold one-bedroom first-floor flat with no onward chain
Large kitchen and sizable living room with built-in storage
Bedroom with two double wardrobes and good floor space
Private rear courtyard for outdoor use
Dated kitchen and bathroom — cosmetic upgrades required

Area classed very deprived with high local crime rates
Slow broadband and average mobile signal — not ideal for heavy remote working
Set on Princess Street in Scarborough’s Old Town, this first-floor one-bedroom flat offers an affordable entry into a seaside neighbourhood. The property comes with a large kitchen, a generous living room with built-in storage, a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a small private courtyard. Being sold freehold with no onward chain, it is straightforward for buyers wanting a quick purchase.
The apartment is best suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor prepared to accept a property with cosmetic and thermal-efficiency shortcomings. The kitchen and bathroom are dated and will benefit from modernisation; the building’s cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which may affect heating costs. Council tax is low, and mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators provides reliable warmth.
Location is a strong selling point: the Old Town and seafront are within easy walking distance, with local shops, cafés and transport links nearby. However, the immediate area scores high for crime and the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived, which will be relevant to families and long-term owners. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average—important considerations for remote working or streaming.
This flat represents clear value at the listed price for buyers willing to invest modestly in improvements. It’s a practical, compact home with period character and potential, or a low-entry investment for a landlord targeting Scarborough’s rental market.
