SPARKLING blue seas and luxury hotels are never far from our minds when the sun begins to shine.

But if you haven't got time to get away, plunge your thoughts into one of these.

Craignair at East Heslerton is a three-bedroom detached bungalow hiding a 20ft indoor swimming complex with heated pool and relaxing area.

Set in mature grounds, the property comprises of an entrance hallway, lounge/dining room, shower room and fitted kitchen, an en-suite master bedroom and two more double bedrooms.

Views over the Yorkshire Wolds and the North York Moors can be glimpsed from the windows, while local amenities include Filey Yacht Club, a golf course and local schools plenty to keep you occupied.

Craignair can be purchased from Your Move Anscombs, for £365,000.

Meanwhile, big spenders might enjoy a peak around Ravenswick, Kirbymoorside.

At a cool £2.5 to £3 million, Ravenswick features eight bedrooms within a principal house, receptions rooms, domestic offices, cellars, and a four-bedroom lodge.

Outside, an outdoor swimming pool and tennis and squash courts are housed among garaging, stores, farm buildings, formal gardens, woodland and a stream.

Hailed as one of North Yorkshire's great houses, Ravenswick stands on rising ground just outside the southern boundary of the North York Moors National Park.

The original farmhouse dates back from 1740 when it formed part of the then 186,000-acre Duncombe Park Estate. It has been updated a number of times, but is still in need of more work.

Oak floors, heavy panelled doors, tall sash windows and some elaborate plaster work are just some of the characteristics of the substantial property, which has become too large for its present owners.
