Dear native English speakers,
I have a question about the usage of "far".

Which sentence would be commonly used?
(1a) His house is far from this station.
(1b) His house is very far from this station.
(1c) His house is pretty far from this station.
(1d) His house is really far from this station.
(1e) His house is far away from this station.

(2a) His house isn't far from this station.
(2b) His house isn't very far from this station.
(2c) His house isn't pretty far from this station.
(2d) His house isn't really far from this station.
(2e) His house isn't far away from this station.

Thanks in advance.
 
All 1 sentences can be used but be aware that 'pretty' far isn't as far as very/really far.

2c and 2d wouldn't usually be used.
