This brand-new home can be found on the outskirts of the characterful seaside resort of Whitby. Outside of the hustle and bustle in a quiet residential neighbourhood, with views of fields to the rear, it’s the best of both worlds. The perfect base for a family break, the interior is tastefully decorated with lots of pale oak, mid-century influenced shapes, and pops of vibrant colour. Outside there’s a town garden with a sunny patio for those morning coffees, and a glass-fronted balcony off the master bedroom that looks out over the countryside. Take the 5-minute drive into town for arcades and fish and chips or cross the bridge to the medieval streets of the East Bank and Whitby Abbey. If you’ve brought the dog, strap on the hiking boots and get out into the North York Moors National Park. It’s called ‘God’s Own Country’ for a reason.
