This one-bedroom attic apartment on North Marine Road sits above the town with direct views over Scarborough Cricket Ground, offering clear short-term rental appeal to holiday lets and student demand. The open-plan kitchen/dining area is bright thanks to skylights, and the modern shower room plus separate WC provide good practical layout for letting or a compact home.
The building is a circa-1900s end-terrace of solid brick construction; double glazing was installed post-2002 and the long lease (181 years) makes ownership straightforward for investors or buyers. Annual service charge is £420 (below average) and council tax is listed as exempt, which can help running costs. Potential rental income quoted at £650 pcm equates to an approximate 8% gross yield at the asking price.
Be realistic about the property’s constraints: total floor area is small (c. 443 sq ft), ceiling heights are low in the attic rooms, and heating is by electric storage heaters. The wider area shows high crime levels and very high deprivation, which may affect tenant profiles and long-term capital growth. Walls are likely uninsulated solid brick so energy performance and comfort could benefit from targeted upgrades.
For investors this is a value-driven, low-maintenance leasehold buy with strong short-term let potential and low service costs. For owner-occupiers seeking a compact seaside pied-à-terre, it offers a ready-to-live-in layout but will feel snug and has modest long-term running costs due to electric heating.
