Church Cliff House dates back to 1799 and was built as a gentleman’s farmhouse on the site of a much earlier manor house. The only house on the north side of the ravine, this handsome property enjoys an elevated position high above Filey Bay and across the way from the Victorian seaside town. Historic St. Oswald’s Church - ‘easily the finest church in the north east corner of the East Riding’ according to Pevsner – flanks its eastern boundary.

Built in English brick with stone dressings and a hipped slate roof, this Georgian property has been skilfully refurbished and comes to the market having been owned by no more than three families in the last 120 years.

Outside The private road leads to the wrought iron gates of Church Cliff House and beyond to the church. Within the gravel driveway lies a brick outbuilding accommodating two garages and two store rooms as well as a detached single garage. The front garden is largely laid to lawn and bounded by a high fence and mixed hedge.

The enclosed gardens and grounds lie predominantly behind the house. A sheltered York stone patio sits immediately outside the kitchen breakfast room and family room beyond which lies the formal garden. A central gravelled path, through parkland with a variety of trees leads to the far paddock. To the western boundary of the property stone steps rise to a delightful walled garden, and within its part-Medieval mellow walls stands an established orchard, pond, herbaceous borders, vegetable beds, a potting shed and greenhouse.

Beyond the gardens and heading towards the cliff tops of the North Yorkshire Jurassic coastline are the fully fenced paddocks with a holding paddock and field shelter. There is access via a five-bar gate at the end of the garden and a separate access from Church Cliff Drive.

A path leads from the private rear courtyard to a single garage within a six-bay garage block. This garage block sits within a large paved courtyard and has separate shared access from Church Cliff Drive, behind secure electric gates. From the same courtyard is a communal utility space shared between Church Cliff House and the neighbouring Church Cliff Farm residential development.
