A two-bedroom ground-floor apartment with its own private entrance and a low-maintenance rear garden, positioned centrally in Scarborough with open views towards Oliver’s Mount. The layout includes a spacious living room, sun room, fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room across approximately 689 sq ft. The property is freehold with an annual building-insurance charge of £200 and a deed of covenant for ad-hoc maintenance.
This flat suits first-time buyers, couples, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a centrally located home close to shops, transport links and Scarborough’s South Bay. Practical advantages include double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is described as very cheap, supporting low running costs.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the local area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, and the building dates from the 1950s–60s with cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, which may affect energy efficiency. The building is described as dated and requiring some maintenance. The freehold arrangement relies on an ad-hoc maintenance approach rather than a formal sinking fund.
Internal viewing is recommended to appreciate the private garden, the outlook to Oliver’s Mount and to assess condition and renovation potential first-hand. For purchasers concerned about tenure, maintenance responsibilities or letting restrictions, these should be clarified with a solicitor prior to exchange.
