Queens Parade, Scarborough, YO12 7HT

A rare opportunity to acquire the freehold interest in a proven, dual-income holiday letting business in one of Scarborough’s most sought-after locations. Highview sits prominently on Queens Parade, commanding breathtaking views across North Bay to Scarborough Castle from its elevated clifftop position.

The property operates as two independently lettable units, each with its own access, allowing maximum flexibility and year-round income generation.

The Main House occupies the upper four floors and is currently configured to sleep 12 guests across five well-appointed bedrooms with multiple bathrooms. It trades through Sykes Cottages (4.7/5 rating) and Booking.com (8.7/10 rating), with a loyal repeat customer base. The accommodation includes a large sitting room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and a snug – providing the quality of space that attracts premium bookings for families, groups, and celebrations.

The Basement Flat at lower ground floor level is a spacious, self-contained unit sleeping 2+2 (king bedroom plus sofa bed). It features its own kitchen, living/dining area, ensuite shower room, and a wet room designed for guests returning from outdoor activities. The flat trades on Airbnb with an exceptional 4.93/5 rating from 83 reviews, Superhost status, and Guest Favourite designation (top 5% of listings). It accepts well-behaved small/medium dogs, broadening its appeal.

Launched as a holiday let in 2019, Highview has built a strong online presence and consistent trading record. The property qualifies for 100% Small Business Rates Relief (rateable value £5,700), and the freehold ownership means no ongoing ground rent or service charges.

The location is a key strength. North Bay beach is a five-minute walk, the North York Moors National Park is on the doorstep, and Scarborough’s town centre is 10–15 minutes on foot. The area attracts year-round visitors for walking, cycling, surfing, and heritage tourism, with Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay, and York all within easy reach.

For an investor seeking an established, income-generating coastal property with exceptional reviews and genuine growth potential, Highview offers outstanding value. Equally suited as a live-in investment where the owner occupies one unit and lets the other, this is a versatile and compelling proposition.
