Set in central Scarborough, this five-bedroom mid-terrace combines period character with turn-key rental potential. The house was comprehensively refurbished in 2014 — new roof, re-slated and insulated; full rewire and re-plumb; gas central heating; uPVC double glazing; and three refitted shower/bathrooms — so it presents well for immediate occupation or continued holiday-let use. Room sizes are notably generous and the high ceilings and bay windows retain clear Victorian character.
The property is offered freehold and chain-free, which suits buyers seeking a quick purchase or investors who want to start earning quickly: the current use is as a successful holiday let and the layout (two reception rooms, five bedrooms, three bathrooms) supports short-term or longer-term lets. Practical outdoor space is modest — a courtyard entrance and gated rear yard — so outdoor needs are limited but manageable.
Be clear about the neighbourhood context: the area scores high for crime and deprivation and is described locally as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with hampered aspiration. The house’s solid-brick construction has rear-wall insulation reported in 2014, but external walls are originally solid brick (no cavity), which can restrict future insulation upgrades. Buyers should factor local market conditions and rental demand into any investment calculations.
