Retired couple find perfect home at Pine Walk
Feeling safe and secure were high on the list of priorities of retired couple Kathleen and David Wilson when they began looking for a new home in a new area . And after considering various options it became abundantly clear that Bellway ’ s Pine Walk development in Guisborough was the perfect spot for them .
Having lived in Carlisle for a number of years , Mr and Mrs Wilson decided it was time to move closer to their son and daughter-in-law in Guisborough so they could be hands-on grandparents to their first grandchild .
Kathleen said : “ Originally we wanted to purchase a bungalow in the area , but after seeing the new homes being built at Pine Walk we knew this was where we wanted to be .
“ The home is ideal for us as we have our bedroom , the second bedroom which our granddaughter has taken over , and another as a guest room . We had a good look around the home before purchasing and decided
within three days that we wanted to move into the Birch .”
Pine Walk comprises of a variety of three and four-bedroom homes , with prices starting from £ 173,995 for the threebedroom semi-detached Birch to £ 336,995 for a four-bedroom detached Alder .
The development boasts brilliant access to all local amenities , with shops , a church and a school being under a 10 minute walk away . There are also public transport links just a short walk from the development .

Jeremy O ’ Connor , of Hartburn-based estate agent Adore Properties , with some useful advice to get a speedy sale ...
When selling your home , we all know the traditional tips , from having fresh coffee brewing to ensuring the house is clean and free of clutter .
However , if they ’ re still not doing the job , give these tricks a try : 1 . Remember why you fell in love Whether it was the big garden , the great location or the unique layout , remember what attracted you to the house and use it as a focal point to encourage new buyers . 2 . First impressions count When it comes to viewings , buyers will start assessing from the moment they pull up . Ensure your front is tidy and well-maintained , maybe even invest in hanging baskets or a new door number to make a great first impression ! 3 . Handy home improvements There are always little jobs in the house we ’ ll get around to ‘ one day ’ but , when you ’ re selling , they become crucial . Set aside a weekend , make a list and set to work – you ’ ll thank yourself later . 4 . No pets at home We all love the family pets but they can be a big distraction during viewings . Either leave them with a friend or keep them out of sight when people come around . 5 . Don ’ t be a tour guide When buyers turn up it can be tempting to follow them around pointing out features , but this can be very offputting . Stay in the background , be prepared to answer questions , but let them get a feel for the house . After all , it ’ s the easiest way for them to imagine living there one day !
