Luxuriate with extended family or friends in seaside splendour at this four-bed property offering modern open-plan living in the Northumberland coastal town of Blyth. If you dream of a holiday home by the sea, this would tick most boxes: contemporary but comfortable interiors, family friendly, balconies with sea views, oodles of space and character, wonderfully modern kitchen, deluxe spacious bedrooms and the beach a stone’s throw away.

The open-plan living accommodation on the first floor is glorious, flooded by light from the wall of near floor-to-ceiling windows and doors one end and picture windows at the other. Both aspects offer beach views with a generous veranda outside the lounge area. This is an inviting space with a TV, but you might be just as happy people watching. The kitchen is a dream to work in, no squabbling over chef duties in this house, and has a sizeable breakfast bar/island as well as the rustic dining table. Two super-king-size bedrooms and one double are also on this floor, one with balcony access, while the remaining double is up again next to an office/playroom/snug, both of which have charming sloping ceilings and feature windows. As well as the furnished balconies, there’s an enclosed gated parking area to the front of the house with garage access for storing surfboards or bikes.

This seaside house has more than 4 miles of golden beach and views of the sea from most rooms. Don’t forget a bucket and spade! Blyth has a bustling port and plenty of history as well as its sandy swathes. There’s plenty of scope for eating out in Blyth, too, if you fancy a night off cooking. If you do feel like a change from the seaside, however, the National Trust’s Seaton Delaval Hall (3 miles) offers a magical day out.
