A true period 1930s semi-detached house in the highly desirable location of Gypsy Lane, Marton, Middlesbrough. The property is not to be confused with the more compact semis that predominate in the area, with a difference in spaciousness, design and plot that must be appreciated in person, as must the privacy and peacefulness on offer.
Downstairs has been extended to create a semi-open-plan living space with impressive light, flow and flexibility. Upstairs has been extended, without compromising the original rooms or landing, to 3 large double bedrooms, 1 single bedroom and 2 bathrooms with full suites. Bespoke, built-in wardrobes are fitted to all double bedrooms. The original bathroom has a full-size bath with over-shower, the second bathroom has a full-size shower.
The infrastructure is modernised: double glazing, condensing Worcester-Bosch combi boiler supplying hot water and central radiator heating, coal-effect gas fire in the lounge, towel radiators, electrical wiring with MCU board, SMETS2 smart meters, loft and cavity wall insulation, fibre broadband. The Openreach fibre cabinet sits just metres from the house for maximum FTTC and FTTP broadband speeds.
The back garden is impressively large with an extensive lawn, fruit trees, patio area and secluded areas. The frontage of the house is attractive and secure, with parking for several cars, lawn, and hedges.
Many of the original features and styling of the house are preserved. Combined with the modernisations, extension and excellent presentation, this is a rare purchase opportunity. Original features include the staircase woodwork, wall panelling, skirtings, doors, frames and handles, chimney breasts, porch tiles and leaded glazing.
Marton is a desirable and leafy residential suburb. Transport links are excellent with quick access to the town centre, train stations, A19, A174, James Cook University Hospital, Stewart Park and Middlesbrough Sports Village. The house is convenient for the local shops, schools, post-office and other amenities while retaining privacy.
