Homes in Guisborough
Guisborough is a historic market town at the foot of the North York Moors, overlooked by the ruins of Gisborough Priory. The town centre has Georgian and Victorian buildings along Westgate, many of them listed, and stone and brick terraces off the main street. It is one of the more sought-after places to live in the Tees Valley, offering access to the moors and good schools.
Outside the centre, 1960s and 1970s private estates provide semis and detached homes, and newer developments have been added on the edges. Villages such as Hutton Lowcross and Pinchinthorpe offer larger period properties and countryside settings. The Cleveland Hills around Guisborough were mined for ironstone in the 19th century, which has left a legacy of old workings.
Areas we cover include Hutton Lowcross, Pinchinthorpe, Upleatham, Lingdale.
