Outside, everything has been considered to make life here easy and enjoyable. Secure gated parking, lift access to all floors, and a private basement store mean there’s space for everything from beach gear to bikes—so you can make the most of the coastline right on your doorstep. Living here is about more than just the apartment—it’s about stepping outside and being moments from the sand, the sea, and everything Filey has to offer. Whether it’s early morning walks along the shoreline, fish and chips by the water, or simply sitting back and taking in the view, Apartment 5 offers a lifestyle that’s hard to match and even harder to leave. **Hmrc** - Should you wish to proceed with an offer on this property we are obliged by HMRC to conduct mandatory Anti Money Laundering Checks.
