This compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in a Victorian terrace close to Scarborough’s South Bay and the Esplanade. A bay-fronted living room and an en-suite double bedroom make it a practical, low-maintenance first home or buy-to-let in a highly connected spot.
Practical features include double glazing, a long lease (183 years remaining) and a share of the freehold with five apartments. The apartment is electrically heated via room heaters and runs on mains electric; running costs can be higher than gas. Annual maintenance is around £1,000 and building insurance is included in the charge.
The flat is small (c.412 sq ft) and suited to single occupancy or a couple. There is no insulation in the original solid brick walls (assumed) and the property will benefit from targeted updating rather than a full refurbishment. Holiday lets are not permitted, though pets and standard assured shorthold tenancies are allowed.
Location is a major draw: local shops, cafes, public transport, schools and the university campus are all within easy reach. Be candid about the local context — the area has very high crime statistics and ranks as very deprived — so buyers should weigh the price and strong location against those factors.
