Summary - 1 Shincliffe Mill Cottages, Shincliffe DH1 2ST
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Four-bedroom semi in Shincliffe with large gardens, off-street parking and scope to modernise.
Four double bedrooms across the first floor
This substantial four-bedroom semi-detached house sits in the peaceful village of Shincliffe, offering generous front and rear gardens and off-street parking on a large plot. The house retains period character—exposed beams and traditional brickwork—while providing a flexible layout with three reception rooms, a conservatory and utility space. It will suit a family seeking village life close to well-regarded schools and good digital connectivity.
The property is Freehold and built before 1900, with solid brick walls and double glazing. Services include oil-fired boiler and radiators; the EPC is grade D and walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should expect energy-efficiency upgrades and potential higher running costs. The living room has a low ceiling and cottage proportions, which contribute charm but limit open-plan possibilities without renovation.
Practical positives include ample parking, a conservatory, downstairs WC and two bathrooms across the house. Local amenities, good broadband and excellent mobile signal make the home comfortable for modern family life. Council Tax is above average (Band E), and the property is presented as requiring updating rather than being move-in modern.
This house offers clear potential: sympathetic refurbishment could improve energy performance and open up the interior while preserving character. Buyers looking for a ready-to-live-in showhome may prefer newer builds; those who value space, village setting and renovation upside will find this an appealing opportunity.
