Just under 4 miles from Scarborough’s vast golden sands and Victorian promenade, this fabulous bungalow makes for a quaint home-from-home for a small dog-owning family. With easy access to the coastline and historic and natural sites dotted across the North York Moors National Park, it would suit walkers, cyclists and nature lovers keen to explore the bountiful tracks, trails, hills and valleys found in and along its boundaries. Beautifully appointed, the property offers bright and modern living areas, a conservatory and large gardens to the rear.
The kitchen, which enjoys views over the garden, has plenty of space for storing ingredients for creating memorable feasts, made to be enjoyed in the spacious lounge/diner; its comfortable sofa is a place to come together for catch-ups, to clink glasses and watch a film. The conservatory is a welcoming space where the day’s plans can be hatched, and 40 winks caught. Along with a family bathroom, there are two bedrooms that complete the ground floor: a double bedroom with wall-mounted TV, and a twin bedroom, ideal for younger guests who want their own space. A large garden lies to the rear, its patio area perfect for al fresco dining and a lawn for doggy-based fun.
Scarborough (4 miles) offers a range of dog-friendly pubs and eateries in and around its harbour, along with a vast golden beach ideal for doggy paddling out of season. The town is home to a castle that welcomes canine royalty. North Riding Forest Park (13.5 miles), which feeds into the North York Moors National Park (17 miles) welcomes four-footed friends, both areas enjoying scenic views across a host of footpaths and trails.
