AN incredible home which has been frozen in time with fixtures and fittings exactly how they were in the 1960s can be revealed for the first time.
Pictures have revealed how the "time capsule" of a house on Teesside has been kept preserved with its garish and amazingly bright decor since being built 60 years ago.
Known as "The Cedars" the home, which is among just a handful of rare "Colt Homes" built in the early 60s, it emerged after going up for sale for the first time.

The home has kept its original appearance even still containing two bathrooms decked out in the once-popular "Avocado and Whisper Pink" and a 1960s kitchen/diner.
The master bedroom features Bond-style mirrored bedroom furniture, retro light fittings and again as the living room takes an L-shape.

Throughout, a mix of coloured carpets from orange to green - including in both bathrooms - have seen years of use, but appear remarkably well kept.
Meanwhile, outdoors the house features a large front lawn, timber summerhouse with oil store and privacy from a number of trees.

Marketed by Leapfrog Lettings and Sales, it has been described as the ultimate "James Bond" house but they have said there no guarantees the man himself will be there.
A spokesperson said while there are areas that may need updating, the condition of the bedrooms could potentially be left untouched.
The home was first created after a Mr Wright purchased a piece of land on the outskirts of the village in 1961, before building a "self-build" Colt house.
It is believed the wooden-frame, cedar-clad construction methods used by Colt Houses was fairly new to the area and had originated from an international Swedish design.

A spokesperson for Leapfrog Lettings and Sales said the home could be kept in its current "retro" condition or renovated.
They said: "The house is a first time on the market, having been built by the seller back in the early 1960's and granted, it does need some work, regardless of whether you love a 1960s decorating scheme.
"Of course, that means the house is down as a renovation project, possibly even something to extend and rework if you get the relevant permissions.
"Personally, we would keep much of what is here in place, depending on the current condition and we think the design has aged well and with the right amount of updating, this could easily be a 1960s house for the 21st century.
"Even allowing for that, this amazing 'retro' property was designed with great style and panache and no doubt, was built for it's location."
