Weldon Court, Weaponness Park, Scarborough, YO11

Built in 1901 by renowned Scottish architect Robert Lorimer as a summer residence for Sir Athur Acland, this Arts and Crafts building is of great character and historical significance. In 1950 Weldon Court was tastefully converted into five flats, retaining many of the original features.

Flat 2 is on the ground floor and is easily accessible, just a few steps away from the garden areas and driveway. There are pretty, private gardens to the side and the rear, with 3 patio areas designed to catch the summer sun throughout the day. Large widows and an open layout provide a convivial atmosphere ideal for relaxation and everyday living. There is ample parking to the front of the building. Access to the flat is via the main lobby as well as a private entrance to the side.

The property is located in a wooded area at the foot of Oliver's Mount. Weaponness was included in the Scarborough Conservation Area in 1985 as was recognised as an 'Area of Special Architectural and Historic Interest'. There are many tree-lined walks in the Weaponness Oval and Boulevards. Shops, cafes, pubs and a supermarket are short stroll away in Ramshill. A ten-minute walk takes you the South Bay and the famous cliff lift to the beach.
