Step inside this majestic apartment - within one of Scarborough's finest buildings

This grand apartment on Scarborough's Esplanade has unique features, with period elegance and an unusual amount of space.

It is the first of eight apartments within The Belvedere, built in the late 1800s as a 10-bedroom house for Lord George Beeforth.

Set over three floors, it is impressively spacious, with private grounds that include a tunnel to a wild garden overlooking the sea.

Constructed over five years, The Belvedere was the first domestic home within Scarborough to have electric lighting.

In 1980, a local developer bought it and converted it into apartments, taking care to keep period features, that include a stunning, stained glass leaded window within the feature communal hallway. A striking fireplace and oak staircase are further features.

Apartment One is set over 4,000 square feet and occupies the whole south-facing section of the ground floor, together with its upper levels.

An open plan living and dining kitchen has a central island with granite worktops, and double doors through to a reception room with period fireplace. A further opening leads to a snug.

There's more to impress in the form of a 25-foot orangery with dining room, with double doors out to the scenic gardens.

A sizeable double bedroom has an en-suite facility.

From the hallway with cloakroom off, is a spiral staircase up to a first floor study or additional bedroom. Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor.

The latter has a wine cellar, a utility room, and two double bedrooms. One bedroom has an en-suite shower room and in addition, there is a separate bathroom.

Apartment one, The Belvedere, Esplanade, Scarborough YO11 2UX has an asking price of £650,000 and is for sale with CPH Property Services.
