House For Sale £995,000
Far Close is a thoroughly impressive property, which enjoys a superb and completely private setting with tremendous views and land amounting to approximately 10 acres.
The original house, which dates from the 1930s, has been substantially extended and re-modelled resulting in a remarkable family home with over 2,800ft2 of well-appointed accommodation. Its interior is flooded with natural light and its layout has been designed to capitalise on its setting, two-storey bay windows to the front elevation allowing for panoramic views.
The accommodation, which benefits from uPvc double-glazing and oil-fired central heating, is arranged over two floors, and comprises entrance hall, sitting room, garden room, dining room, dining kitchen with Aga and cabinetry by Neptune, walk-in pantry, guest cloakroom, utility room and study. To the first floor is a master bedroom with dressing room and shower room en-suite, three further double bedrooms and a house bathroom.
The property is approached through electric gates onto a tree-lined, tarmac driveway, leading around to the far side of the house where there is a sizeable area for parking and a large double garage block with electric car charging point. A particularly striking feature of Far Close are its exceptional gardens, which have been professionally landscaped and feature a vast array of well-established shrubs and mature trees.
The property is a registered smallholding and has around 8 acres of grass paddock land, which will hold significant appeal for those with equestrian or smallholding interests, not least because there is gated access from the rear paddock onto Sands Road, a quiet no through lane which provides direct access onto the beach at Hunmanby Gap, where riding on the beach is allowed. The land has the advantage of good quality stabling and a field shelter, and in the south-east corner of the plot there is the potential to construct further outbuildings, on the site of some former agricultural buildings, subject to securing any necessary consents.
Far Close is positioned around three quarters of a mile north of Reighton village and enjoys easy access to the nearby town of Filey, which is within a five-minute drive. The town benefits from a comprehensive range of facilities and is best known for its wide sandy bay, which stretches for five miles from Filey Brigg down to Bempton Cliffs, where there is an RSPB reserve.
