Set on Scarborough’s South side, this compact one-bedroom flat offers a well-planned living space and very long lease. The open-plan kitchen and lounge creates a bright, usable room for daily life; the bedroom is a large double and storage is included. UPVC double glazing and modern kitchen appliances add convenience for a straightforward move-in.
Practical buyers should note the property is electrically heated and runs on mains electricity; this can mean higher heating bills compared with gas. The flat measures about 439 sq ft overall, so it suits single buyers or couples rather than those needing lots of space. Some internal finishes are dated—hallway and certain living-room details would benefit from cosmetic updating.
Financially the position is clear: leasehold with circa 983 years remaining and a below-average annual service charge (about £604.24). Council Tax is in Band B. EPC rating is listed as TBC, and purchasers should verify services and appliances as these have not been tested.
Location is a genuine selling point: quiet setting off Fulford Road with easy walking access to Ramshill shops, the Esplanade, South Bay beach and town centre amenities. Broadband speeds are average and mobile signal is excellent; there's no flood risk. This is a straightforward, low-commitment entry into Scarborough property ownership with scope to update and add personal value.
