Shaftsbury Drive, Brandon, Durham

Igomove are delighted to present this beautifully improved two bedroom semi detached home, perfectly positioned on Shaftsbury Drive, within a quiet and rarely available part of Brandon, offering a wonderful balance of village living, countryside surroundings and excellent access to Durham City.

Occupying an attractive plot with mature gardens and peaceful surroundings, this stylish home is ideally suited to first time buyers, young professionals or those looking for a move in ready property with character, warmth and quality throughout. Situated on the edge of the village, the property enjoys easy access to open countryside, nearby walking routes and former railway lines — ideal for dog walking, running, cycling and enjoying the outdoors — whilst Durham City Centre and the A1(M) remain within easy reach.

The current owner has lovingly maintained and significantly upgraded the property, including a full electrical re-wire approximately two years ago and an impressive kitchen extension and refit completed in 2024, creating a far more sociable and contemporary living environment.

To the front, the property enjoys attractive mature planting and a shared driveway providing off street parking.
Stepping inside, the welcoming entrance hall leads into a bright open plan living and dining space, beautifully finished with high quality engineered oak flooring which flows throughout the ground floor, adding warmth and continuity to the home.

The lounge area is filled with natural light from the attractive bay window overlooking the front garden, while the stylish décor and feature geometric wall design create a modern yet comfortable atmosphere perfect for everyday living.

Flowing seamlessly into the dining space and kitchen extension, this area truly becomes the heart of the home. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with beautifully painted shaker style solid wood cabinetry in soft muted tones, complemented by chunky wooden worktops and contemporary fittings which create a cosy yet sophisticated finish. Integrated appliances, feature shelving and a classic ceramic sink enhance both style and practicality, while excellent natural light pours through the rear windows and adjoining conservatory area.

The conservatory/utility space offers additional versatility and practicality, providing the ideal place for laundry, storage or simply somewhere peaceful to enjoy views across the garden throughout the seasons, with direct access outside via patio doors.

Upstairs, the property continues to impress with two particularly spacious double bedrooms, both individually styled and enjoying large bright windows which create airy, welcoming spaces.

The principal bedroom features continued oak flooring, modern décor and ample room for furnishings, while the second bedroom offers a softer contemporary finish with pleasant green outlooks and useful built in storage solutions.

The family bathroom has been stylishly updated with a contemporary white suite, sleek vanity storage, fully tiled walls and a large shower over bath with curved glass screen, creating a clean and modern finish. The loft space has a drop down ladder and is partially boarded providing excellent storage, an excellent bonus.

Externally, the rear garden is a genuine highlight — generous in size, private and wonderfully tranquil. Mainly laid to lawn with established planted borders, gravelled sections and patio seating areas, it provides the perfect outdoor environment for entertaining, gardening or relaxing in the sunshine. The secure enclosed setting is also ideal for pets and young families.

This is a home which stands out from many others in the area — thoughtfully upgraded, beautifully styled and offering the perfect combination of peaceful surroundings, practical living space and excellent connectivity.

Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the quality, setting and lifestyle on offer.
