Sitting in the picturesque Loftus in North Yorkshire is this lovely, terraced house of Lavender Cottage.
Ideal for a family of four, this pet-friendly property rests close to the beach and the North York Moors National Park for plenty of outdoor activities, whilst providing contemporary amenities and a play area.
At the front of the property you'll find a patio with outdoor seating to relax and watch the world go by with your morning coffee.
Inside, a homely sitting room awaits with sumptuous seating and a wall-mounted TV, as well as a woodburning stove for colder nights.
The kitchen/diner has been beautifully appointed with marble-effect worktops, built-in appliances to please all foodies, and a table for six guests to toast to your holiday retreat.
On summer days, be sure to make the most of your private patio where you can unwind with a glass of wine on the terrace, dine al fresco, whilst the little ones enjoy the play area.
Completing the ground floor is a shower room with a spacious walk-in shower, whilst upstairs you'll find the family bathroom to soak in the tub or shower over, with your towel warming on the heated rail.
The first floor also has two lovely bedrooms, a double and a twin, both fitted with storage space, a TV, and homely touches.

The idyllic Skinningrove Beach is also close by and welcomes dogs, sandcastle makers, walkers, and swimmers all year-round.
You'll also find Saltburn-by-the-Sea a short drive away with stunning cliffs overlooking the sandy beach where you can fish along the pier, play a game or two at Saltburn-by-the-Sea Golf Club, and wander Saltburn Gill Nature Reserve.
The historic seaside town of Whitby has something for the whole family to enjoy, such as classic amusements along Whitby Beach, the historic Abbey ruins at the top of the 199 Steps with breath-taking views, and a selection of museums including the Captain Cook Memorial Museum.
For a picture-postcard day out, head to the fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, home to a sparkling coastline and the National Trust's Old Coastguard Station.
