Arguably one of the prettiest and admired properties in Guisborough, Overbeck Cottage was originally built in 1876 as the gardener’s cottage of ‘Overbeck’, an important Victorian mansion which was constructed in the same year and designed by the eminent architect, Alfred Waterhouse. In 1944 the property became separate from the ‘Overbeck’ Estate and was sympathetically remodelled to provide to quite charming residence which we know today. Having picturesque white painted rendered elevations under a handsome roof of green Cumberland slate, the cottage has, under the hand of the present owner has gone through an extensive renovation and extension programme, with great attention being paid to every detail and only by internal inspection can one possibly appreciate the stylish, elegant, and versatile accommodation which is offered. Two of the bedrooms are at ground level, allowing use either as bedrooms or reception rooms, dependent upon the needs of the purchaser. Another particular feature is that in addition to the main building there is a stunning, refitted self-contained annex offering, in effect, service accommodation for a housekeeper/carer or a ‘granny’ or ‘teenager’ flat or as a casual holiday letting accommodation. ‘Overbeck Cottage’ stands in extensive grounds of 1/5th of an acre which have been beautifully landscaped over the years and afford complete privacy and seclusion, the exquisite rear garden offering a real haven of peace and tranquillity. Stokesley Road is, without doubt, one of the premier residential areas of Guisborough and yet is within a 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 conveniently situated for access to the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, the Coast, and Industrial centres of Teesside.
