Summary - 42 Homecrest House, Grosvenor Crescent, SCARBOROUGH YO11 2LF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Lift access, communal facilities, and low-maintenance central living for over-60s.
Recently refurbished with new Howdens kitchen and shower room
Set on the second floor of a McCarthy & Stone development, this two-bedroom retirement apartment has been recently refurbished and offers easy, lift-served living in central Scarborough. The bright living room with dual-aspect windows looks towards Grosvenor Crescent, while a stylish Howdens kitchen and modern shower room mean the property is largely move-in ready. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry room, garden and visitor parking for convenience.
This home suits someone seeking low-maintenance, age-restricted living close to local shops and transport. The building includes a 24-hour emergency call system and communal support features designed for residents over 60, creating a secure, sociable environment. The apartment’s 683 sq ft layout provides two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and comfortable living space.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with approximately 60 years remaining. That limited lease term is significant — many mortgage lenders may refuse lending, and lease extension would be a material cost for any buyer. The surrounding area shows above-average crime statistics and higher local deprivation, which should be weighed alongside the convenience of nearby amenities.
Overall, this is a well-presented retirement apartment with practical communal facilities and recent internal upgrades. It will suit a cash buyer or someone prepared to investigate lease-extension costs and local considerations before committing.
