2 Bedroom house

Charming Country Cottage with Landscaped Garden and Detached Home Office in Sought-After Shincliffe Village.

Nestled amongst mature trees in the highly desirable village of Shincliffe, this delightful semi-detached cottage offers cosy and characterful accommodation, a beautifully landscaped private rear garden, and a detached outdoor office—perfect for home working or hobbies.

The property is entered via a welcoming porch leading into the hallway. To the front of the home is a charming lounge featuring a log-burning stove, fitted shelving within the alcoves, and a practical workspace tucked beneath the staircase.

The heart of the home is the beautifully remodelled open plan kitchen/dining room. Enhanced by a partially glazed roof and impressive bi-fold doors opening onto the garden (all triple glazed), this bright and airy space is flooded with natural light and seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor living. A contemporary ground-floor shower room with WC and space for a washing machine completes the accommodation on this level.

To the first floor are two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from en-suite facilities. The principal bedroom also features fitted wardrobes, providing excellent storage. A loft ladder gives access to a useful converted flexible loft storage area, carpeted and complete with a Velux-style roof window.

Outside, the rear garden can be conveniently accessed via a recently acquired gated passage to the side of the property. The garden itself is private and attractively landscaped, with mature shrubs and trees creating a peaceful setting. A delightful patio area provides the perfect space for entertaining and al fresco dining, while the detached garden office offers versatile additional accommodation for remote working, creative pursuits, or leisure activities.

Further benefits include gas central heating and double glazing throughout, including heritage timber framed windows at the front fitted in 2023.

Occupying a particularly pleasant position within the picturesque conservation village of Shincliffe, the property enjoys an enviable setting just one mile from Durham city centre. Excellent access to the A1(M) and A19 makes this an ideal home for commuters, while local amenities and countryside walks are close at hand.
