Set on a tree‑lined crescent overlooking a communal garden, this top‑floor Victorian apartment offers generous rooms and period character at an accessible price. High ceilings and large windows give the lounge and bedroom a bright, airy feel; an attic room provides useful hobby or storage space. The layout — entrance hall, lounge, kitchen/diner, double bedroom and bathroom — works well for a single buyer or couple seeking space close to town and the South Bay.
The property is currently transitioning to a 999‑year lease (previously described as freehold); buyers should confirm tenure details in contract. The building is managed with a service charge of approximately £1,300 per annum, which includes buildings insurance. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and may need upgrading to improve energy efficiency.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are reported slow, and the neighbourhood has above‑average crime and high area deprivation scores. On the positive side, council tax is very low, mobile signal is excellent, and local amenities and schools are within easy reach. The apartment presents an affordable entry into Scarborough’s Victorian quarter and suits first‑time buyers or investors willing to accept some local challenges for long‑term potential.
