Available on the open market for the first time in nearly forty years is this very special traditional bay fronted semi-detached house of character which was constructed by the reputable local builder Wilkinson as part of his development of the favoured 'West End' of Guisborough in the 1930s. Requiring an internal inspection to be appreciated, the house has, under the careful and imaginative hands of the present owners, been thoughtfully extended and refurbished internally so as now to provide a really super family home. Possessing a lovely light and airy feel throughout, the house offers generously proportioned accommodation with two reception rooms and a super 'heart of the house' style kitchen with breakfast area - ideal for the needs of day to day family life. There are three double bedrooms, complimented by a bathroom and a shower room and all those windows to the front of the house are south facing and enjoy lovely views of the hills. West End offers the enviable combination of being within a long established residential area yet within comfortable walking distance of the historic town centre with its range of shopping facilities and amenities. Guisborough is well served for both primary and secondary schooling and is well placed for access to the Coast, the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and the industrial centres of Teesside. Externally there is a good sized integral garage served by an extensive drive and to the rear an absolutely delightful secluded mature garden which affords complete privacy and seclusion. This really is a VERY SPECIAL FAMILY HOME - VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
