A well-presented three-bedroom Victorian semi detached in desirable Shincliffe, offered chain free and ready to move into. The house combines traditional character — arched doorway, fireplace and high ceilings — with practical updates such as gas central heating and double glazing. The ground floor flows from a welcoming hall into a sizeable lounge and a kitchen-dining space with a separate utility and ground-floor WC.
Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom; the principal rooms are generous in proportion for the property’s overall size. The tiered rear garden is a particular highlight, with multiple patio areas, countryside views and glimpses of Durham Cathedral — a pleasant spot for entertaining or quiet evenings. Off-street parking and a garage add useful storage and vehicle space.
Buyers should note the house sits on a relatively small plot and was built before 1900 with traditional sandstone/limestone walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation. The energy rating is D and the property will benefit from targeted insulation improvements for long-term running-cost savings. Broadband options include superfast speeds, and mobile signal is excellent.
Located on the outskirts of Durham in a peaceful village setting, the home suits a family or professional looking for village life within easy reach of the city. Local amenities, good primary schools and nearby river walks make this an appealing choice for those prioritising community and countryside access while retaining commuter links.
