Description
Red Court is an impressive Grade II listed building built around 1905 as a summer residence for Alfred Shuttleworth, chairman of Clayton & Shuttleworth Ltd, subsequently converted into very spacious luxury Sea View apartments. The building was more recently portrayed in the ITV Series 'The Royal' as St. Aidan's Royal Free Hospital.
Apartments 6 & 7 have been combined by the present owners to create a single property which spans the full width of the building, providing incredibly spacious and versatile accommodation which has served them as a second home and the family as a holiday home for many years.
Little has changed in terms of the original architecture, many of the distinctive external period features having been retained and restored as part of the listing, a theme which continues throughout the communal areas. Apartment 6 was comprehensively refurbished some years ago and remains in very good order, Apartment 7 which was acquired later requires a degree of updating but is in good order. The possibility remains to partition the two apartments and use one as a rental opportunity.
The property surrounds an attractive private central courtyard garden and conservatory for communal enjoyment, adjacent to which is a large cobbled and gated stable yard, notably used as a filming location for a popular television drama. There is off street parking to the side and rear and in the basement is a private storage area.
Location
Red Court is located high on the famous Esplanade, opposite the Clock Tower and Shuttleworth Gardens, enjoying fabulous views of the bay.
The town has an array of amenities including restaurants and shops, as well as an open air theatre, spa complex, art gallery, Sea Life Centre, cricket club, castle and the famous Stephen Joseph Theatre. There are a number of festivals hosted by the town throughout the year.
Scarborough has several good schools including Scarborough College. The property is conveniently located for the A64 giving access to Malton, York and Leeds.
Square Footage: 2,253 sq ft
