Description
The property comprises a former educational building, which was most recently used as part of Yorkshire Coast College before closing in 2017. The building originally opened in 1902 as a municipal school and includes many designs and architectural features from the architect Edwin Cooper. The property has also been Scarborough High School for Boys from 1922 to 1959, the Westwood County Modern School and later became part of the College.

The property was listed in 1973 and retains a wealth of character and history. Planning was obtained in 2021 to convert the vacant building into 28 residential apartments and co-working space in the former theatre. There is also planning to erect a block of 22 new apartments to the rear of the existing building on the site of the former ceramics building.

There has been extensive preparatory works undertaken to the existing building and surrounding site to date, providing an exciting opportunity for buyers to take advantage of the works undertaken to date and complete this development.
