This imposing family home has been treasured and transformed by its current owners.

The detached property in the quiet suburb of Marton in Middlesbrough now makes the perfect home for those who love entertaining, says current owner Pamela Fitzpatrick, 53.

The house wife, who is mum to Katie, 23, and grandmother to eight-month-old Callie Irish, said she and husband Malcolm, 51, a commissioning manager, fell in love with all the five bedroom property had to offer when they bought it in 2006.
