A rare freehold penthouse maisonette on Scarborough’s Esplanade, this extremely large apartment delivers dramatic, panoramic sea views from a front-facing balcony. The principal living room opens onto the balcony so the coast is the focal point of daily life, and a lift serves the building for easy access. At about 1,385 sq ft the layout feels generous: two large double bedrooms on the main level, a dining kitchen, modern bathroom plus separate WC, and an upper-level reception with an occasional room ideal for a hobby space or home office.
The property blends period character and Victorian proportions — high ceilings, bay windows and a stone façade — with practical updates such as a modern bathroom and secondary glazing. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators, and there is parking associated with the building. Freehold tenure removes leasehold complications common in coastal blocks.
Buyers should note a few important considerations. The building’s stone walls are understood to have no insulation (as built), so thermal performance may be poor and insulating works could be needed. The glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing. The wider area is classified as communal retirement and crime is above average for the locality, which some buyers will weigh alongside the excellent coastal location and fast broadband/mobile coverage.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking an unusually spacious seafront home with room for flexible uses — second reception, hobby room or home office — and who are prepared to invest in thermal improvements if they want higher energy efficiency. With a lift, freehold title and striking sea views, it represents a standout penthouse opportunity on Scarborough’s Esplanade.
