Bradley Lowery House, on land off Burniston Road, would allow other sick children and their families to enjoy a break in the seaside town.
The plans have been lodged with Scarborough Council this week and architects Building Design Northern (BDN) have released images of how the home will look, based on ideas and suggestions from Bradley’s foundation.

“The house accommodates the extended family and friends of the sick child so that they can collectively have a luxury holiday in a state-of-the-art facility.”
The five-bedroom house, which will sit on land formerly part of the Scalby Manor Estate, will also include a gym and sauna along with a barbecue terrace.
