Summary - THE PENTHOUSE, 35 APARTMENT 5 ST NICHOLAS STREET SCARBOROUGH YO11 2HJ
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Large two-bed duplex with parking in the heart of Scarborough's town centre.
Grade II listed penthouse with period stone façade and high ceilings
Set across two levels in a handsome Victorian stone façade, this top-floor penthouse occupies approximately 1,188 sq ft and offers a rare combination of period character and expansive internal space. High ceilings, large windows and a feature open-plan lounge/diner with fitted kitchen create bright, flexible living areas; two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a dressing/study room add useful configuration options for a family or professional sharer. An allocated off-street parking space accessed via remote gates is an uncommon city-centre benefit.
The apartment forms part of a small development within the former Penthouse music venue, giving the flat cultural cachet and town-centre convenience close to South Bay beach, shopping and transport. For investors the property has confirmed buy-to-let potential (holiday letting prohibited) and lets at premium local rates have been achieved in the past.
There are important constraints to note. The building is Grade II listed — external and internal works will be subject to consent and can complicate upgrades. Heating is by electric room heaters, the building is of solid brick construction (likely without cavity insulation) and the EPC rating is D, so energy and running costs will be higher than modern stock. The property is advertised leasehold with tenure details not provided; purchasers should verify lease length, service charges and any covenants restricting use. The location is central and well connected, but local area statistics show high crime and very high deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ preferences and rental profiles.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a distinctive, low-maintenance town-centre home or a long-term investor wanting a sizable two-bed duplex with parking and strong local demand. Due diligence on listed-building constraints, lease terms and potential energy improvements is recommended before proceeding to offer.
