The Beach, Ackworth House, Filey, YO14

COMMUNAL AREA

Occupying a prominent position on the beach front with outstanding views over the bay just slightly down from the town centre is this delightful period building. This has majestic steps leading up to a beautiful forecourt area, this being covered gives shelter to the impressive entrance doors which leads through to the communal grand hallway.

COMMUNAL AREA

This grand hallway is so described due to its particularly elegant feel, it is very spacious and extremely well kept. The gently rising staircase turns and rises to Apartment 5 and there is also a lift giving additional ease of access. It should also be noted that the grand hallway is accessed from the rear from the parking area where there is also disabled access, the most unusual feature in a period building, demonstrating the high quality of workmanship and thought given when this building was converted just a few years ago. Occupied primarily by homeowners, this block has the advantage of not being able to be let out as holiday lets and therefore the peace, quiet and elegant nature is particularly enhanced and maintained.

SHARE OF FREEHOLD

It should be noted the property is leasehold with the actual flats themselves being the freeholder. Therefore, control is particularly tight and well managed. From the grand hallway lift access is gained up to the second floor, where we find the doorway leading through to Apartment 5.

ENTRANCE HALL

Apartment 5, as the floor layout plan suggests, is of a good size and the entrance hall sets the scene being particularly long and served by useful storage cupboard. In the entrance hall is the property’s intercom system.

LIVING ROOM

20' 0" x 14' 10" (6.09m x 4.51m)
A doorway leads through to the lounge. This fabulous room gives one the first indication of the stunning views. This is courtesy of two period style windows, flooding the room with natural light and allowing the jaw dropping view to be fully absorbed. The room has coving to the ceiling, broad chimney breast with wood burning stove, chimney recessed display shelving and all is presented to a high standard with a period style central heating radiator.

DINING KITCHEN

15' 0" x 12' 9" (4.57m x 3.89m)
A doorway from the lounge and also from the hallway leads through to the dining living kitchen. This, once again, is a spectacular room. It is particularly large and is given the wonderful feature of the views courtesy of twin glazed doors allowing a huge amount of natural light and giving direct access out to the beautiful balcony. This beautiful balcony with its glazed balustrading allows one an uninterrupted panoramic view of up and down the bay which is quite simply superb. The fresh air and delightful seaside noise in the background provides one with immediate relaxation. As the photographs suggest, the kitchen is fitted out to a particularly high standard with a fabulous array of appliances. The standard of fittings, finish and décor throughout this apartment is sure to please when viewed.

DINING KITCHEN

The room has provisions for a wall mounted TV, inset spotlighting to the ceiling and an adjoining balcony which is of a good size. The kitchen includes appliances such as a Bona hob, Siemens microwave combination oven and waist level oven, Caple wine fridge, hot water tap, waste disposal within the sink, Siemens washer dryer and dishwasher.

BEDROOM ONE WITH EN-SUITE

A large double bedroom with in-built bedroom furniture and twin glazed doors out to the rear balcony. This time with wrought iron balustrading, giving one a direct view out to the property’s parking space. This is an extremely well-presented bedroom.

BATHROOM

From the parking area, there is lift access to all floors as well as disabled access. There is a large basement store, providing a huge amount of storage space for such items as bikes, beach equipment etc. Whilst mentioning other features we must, once again, point out that the views from the building itself, whether that be from the front entrance doorstep or from balcony, living room or dining living kitchen are tremendous.
