About this property
Set in an attractive Victorian property, in the elegant area of Southcliffe in Scarborough, is this superb first floor apartment. With all the amenities and sea front just a few minutes' walk, the accommodation is perfect for couples wanting to enjoy the many attractions in this popular resort, but within easy reach of the North York Moors National Park. Beautifully renovated to a high standard, there is a light and spacious open plan living area, with high ceilings, a modern kitchen and a dining area set in the large bay window, overlooking the leafy street below. With quality furnishings and comfortable seating, this is a lovely room to relax in, with the afternoon sun streaming in.
The bedroom is at the front of the property and equally as comfortable and inviting, with a king-size bed and a small dressing room. A five minute stroll brings you onto the sea front, with its pubs, seafood bars and amusements at one end and the Spa Theatre and quieter sands at the other. Walk along the promenade, admire the fishing boats in the small harbour, or climb up to the castle ruins perched high on the cliff above. For culture lovers, the renowned Stephen Joseph Theatre in the round features excellent productions, whilst Peasholm Park boasts the largest open air Theatre in England.
There are many excellent restaurants in the town, tempting tea rooms and beachside cafes to enjoy, as well as some wonderful fish and chips! With the spectacular surrounding countryside and charming coastal villages to explore, this stylish apartment provides a wonderful base for couples, at any time of the year.
The seaside town of Scarborough offers original fine buildings, parks and gardens, as well as its historic castle which overlooks the town. North Bay and South Bay provide two superb stretches of golden sandy beaches, and lovely coastal walks along the Cleveland Way can be enjoyed.

The property is well situated and well maintained. The area is very hilly and the view shown on the website is a little optomistic. However it is close to both the town centre and the foreshore.

Comfortable sofas, but unfortunately spoilt by hard and ridgey bed. Also the entrance and stairway very musty smelling. Great location and parking availability good.
