Watsons Lane, Reighton, YO14 9SD

A rare opportunity to acquire an individual period country residence occupying a delightful rural setting on the edge of the highly regarded coastal village of Reighton. Stubber Hill is a charming detached home believed to date from the mid-18th Century, having been sympathetically enlarged over the years to provide comfortable family accommodation whilst retaining a wealth of character including exposed beams, solid oak internal doors, feature fireplaces and attractive cottage-style elevations.

The property now stands within grounds extending to just over 7 acres (2.83 hectares), comprising formal gardens, timber stabling, garaging, useful outbuildings, and well-fenced grazing paddocks, making it ideally suited to those with equestrian interests, small livestock, or those simply seeking an attractive country lifestyle.

The property enjoys an attractive outlook over its own grazing land and the surrounding countryside, with lovely views from the first floor towards the rolling landscape of the Yorkshire Wolds and the nearby coastline. The combination of privacy, character and excellent outside space creates a property that is seldom available within such easy reach of Filey, Bridlington and the Yorkshire coast.

Whilst the property has been generally well cared for over many years, prospective purchasers are likely to wish to update the kitchen fittings, decorative finishes, and floor coverings, to suit modern tastes. This is fully reflected in the asking price and provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to modernise and personalise the accommodation to their own requirements, without compromising the property's inherent character and charm.

LOCATION

Stubberhill occupies a delightful semi-rural position on Watson's Lane on the edge of the sought-after village of Reighton, approximately 4 miles south of Filey and 6 miles north of Bridlington. The village offers a church and village hall, whilst a wider range of shopping, leisure and educational facilities are available in the neighbouring coastal towns of Filey and Bridlington.

The property enjoys excellent access to the spectacular Heritage Coastline, including the beaches at Reighton Sands, Hunmanby Gap and Filey Bay, together with nearby Bempton Cliffs, one of the country's finest RSPB nature reserves. The surrounding countryside also provides an extensive network of bridleways and quiet country lanes, making the property particularly attractive to equestrian enthusiasts and those who enjoy walking and outdoor pursuits.
