THERE is nothing like a beautiful view to make you appreciate life - especially if it is right outside your home.

This week, we have found some of the best views the region has to offer, starting with glimpses of the sea from a three-bedroom apartment in Hunmanby Hall, in Filey.

The Hunmanby Hall development offers a nine-hole golf course, a gymnasium, a tennis court, communal gardens and parking.

This first-floor flat boasts a communal security entrance, a deceptively spacious lounge, a dining room, French doors to the balcony and a fitted kitchen with appliances, all for £295,000.

There are two double bedrooms - one of which has a door to the rear balcony and an en-suite bathroom - and there is a shower room too.

It is marketed by Smilesallround. Next, Redmove has a five-bedroom detached home, in Selby Road, Holme-upon-Spalding-Moor.

Standing in beautiful gardens, this home also boasts views over open countryside to the rear and has the benefit of no onward chain.

There is an entrance vestibule, sitting room with a bay window and gas fire, a dining room, a sun room with French doors to the patio and a study with views over the garden.

The breakfast kitchen offers fine views too, as well as an excellent range of dark oak base and wall units, illuminated display cupboards, corner display shelving and under-lighting to wall units and a breakfast bar.

There is an en-suite shower room to the master bedroom, a good-sized family bathroom and a utility room and cloakroom too. Outside, there is a well-kept rear garden with a patio, lawn, mature flower beds and a decking area with lighting and a break in the boundary hedging to enjoy open views with grapes growing above. There is plenty of parking on the driveway and a detached double garage too. It is priced at £375,000.

Meanwhile, Winkworth has a one-bedroom apartment in Postern Close, York, with a private balcony.

This home, which is currently being used as a holiday let, has beautiful views over the River Ouse and towards Skeldergate Bridge.

Priced at £249,950, it includes an entrance hall with a video entry phone, a sitting room with French sliding doors to the private balcony, a bedroom with an arch to a dressing area with wall-length fitted wardrobes and a bathroom with a panel bath, overhead shower, a WC, a bidet, hand wash basin and a heated towel rail.

There are a range of wall and base units in the kitchen, as well as an integral dishwasher, fridge/freezer, electric hob and an oven. Parking is included in the sale.

Finally, Chris Clubley & Co Ltd has a former period farmhouse at Ousethorpe, near Pocklington.

With two reception rooms and three bedrooms and over three acres of land, this home enjoys an outstanding location with views over rolling countryside, gardens, a paddock and a copse, as well as a two-bedroom annexe.

Inside, there is an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, pine breakfast kitchen, a pantry with access to the annexe, a cloakroom and an en-suite shower room.

The annexe boasts a fitted kitchen, sitting room, two bedrooms and a bathroom. There is a double garage, a workshop divided into two, a log and coal store and a garden store.

The mature gardens are predominantly lawned and there are mature shrub borders, a kitchen garden area and an orchard. It is priced at £750,000.
