Detached house for sale in Church Hill, Hunmanby, Filey YO14

A substantially extended period cottage offering spacious & characterful accommodation of over 3,000sq.ft together with mature gardens of almost half an acre, ample parking & double garage.

The Old Cobbler’s sits
proudly along the approach to Hunmanby, overlooking All Saints Church, and is
understood to date from 1842, commissioned by Admiral Mitford, who owned the
village and used it as his estate office. Over the last 180 years the house has
evolved, resulting in an especially spacious family home with a wealth of
character and a versatile layout.

In the early-1990s a
substantial two storey extension was added to the rear of the property, creating a galleried entrance hall, 26ft sitting room and a superb master
bedroom suite, which sits well alongside the original cottage. The overall
accommodation amounts to a little over 3,000sq.ft and comprises entrance hall, guest cloakroom, sitting room, dining kitchen, snug, dining room, study, sun
room and utility room. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms and two
bathrooms (one en-suite), alongside an office or smaller fifth bedroom.

The property benefits from
a dual central heating system with both a gas fired boiler and a more recently
installed air-source heat pump, which along with photovoltaic solar panels provide
a healthy annual income via renewable heat incentive payments, in addition to
savings on energy used.

There are large gardens to
the rear of the property, which in total amount to approximately half an acre, with extensive lawn, shrub borders, specimen trees and flagged terrace. The
upper portion of the garden affords fine views, both across the village, the
countryside beyond and out to sea. Directly behind the cottage is a block paved
parking area, giving access to a double garage and car port.

Hunmanby is a well-served
village nestled on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds, just 3 miles from local
beaches and the popular seaside town of Filey.
The village has a wide range of services and amenities including doctor’s
surgery, primary school, several pubs, a 9-hole golf course and a variety of
shops including grocers, butchers, and delicatessen. The nearby towns of Filey
and Scarborough provide a full range of services, shops, supermarkets, social
and entertainment attractions.
