This detached three-bedroom bungalow sits on a substantial corner plot at the head of a quiet cul-de-sac in High Shincliffe — a comfortable, well-regarded suburb less than two miles from Durham city centre. Single-storey living, a double garage and parking for several cars make it particularly suitable for buyers looking to down-size without compromising space. The rear garden is private and landscaped with mature planting and a large patio for outdoor living.
The property has been owner-occupied since new and kept in good order. Practical updates include uPVC double glazing and a gas boiler installed in 2023 (five-year warranty). Accommodation is straightforward: entrance porch, hallway, lounge with doors to the dining room, kitchen, utility, three bedrooms (one en-suite) and a modern bathroom. Ground-floor bedrooms and a level-access shower improve accessibility.
Notable practical points are clearly stated: the bungalow is freehold, Council Tax Band F (expensive) and lies within a coal mining reporting area — further searches are advised. There are covenants on the title and the vendor recommends a chartered surveyor to confirm building condition. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and the area is very affluent with good local schools, making this attractive for downsizers seeking convenience close to Durham.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, comfortably maintained bungalow with easy access, generous outside space and sensible modern servicing. It will suit buyers seeking single-floor living and a large private plot, but purchasers should allow for searches and professional inspection to confirm structural and title matters.
