There is planning approval for a garage and conversion of the property to flats; approx cost of conversion to flats, fire/sound-proofing etc would be around £10k - I would do it but my health is failing :( Council Tax is Band B = approx. £850 Water Rate is approx. £240 Filey (pop approx. 7000) is 7mls south of Scarborough on the North Yorkshire Coast. The North Yorkshire Moors are 12mls to the north and the Yorkshire Wolds 5mls to the south-west. Leisure opportunities such as climbing, birdwatching, diving, cycling, walking, surfing etc. etc. abound in the area. 12 West Road is 5 mins walk from shops and all amenities and 10 mins walk from cliffs and 5 miles of beach. Filey is pretty quiet and has a very low crime rate - burglary, vandalism and car theft are almost unheard of Filey does get quite busy in the holiday season but it's a family holiday resort - no lager louts!
