Full Description - Prominently positioned in the highly desirable village of High Shincliffe, this extended semi detached home offers spacious living accommodation, a superb rear garden and excellent access to Durham City and surrounding transport links.

Accessed via a side entrance porch, the property opens into a hallway with a cloakroom/WC. The ground floor features an L-shaped lounge and a separate dining room within the rear extension, complete with a bay window overlooking the garden. The shaker-style kitchen provides a range of wall and floor units with some integrated appliances, complemented by a useful utility room and rear entrance lobby offering direct access to the garden.

Stairs from the hallway lead to the first floor landing, which includes a built-in storage cupboard and loft access. The first floor provides three well proportioned bedrooms: a generous man double bedroom with fitted furniture, a second double bedroom, and a versatile third bedroom suitable for a child, home office or dressing room. These are served by a family bathroom fitted with both a bath and an electric shower.

Externally, the property enjoys a block paved driveway and laid lawn, while the rear garden is particularly large, mature and well-established making this a standout feature of the home. A detached garage is accessed from the rear.

The property benefits from gas central heating via a combi boiler installed approximately two years ago, along with UPVC double glazing throughout. Additionally the main roof to the property was replaced in June 2026,, with the flat roof over the utility and extension roof being replaced within the past 5 years.

Available with no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity in one of Durham’s most sought-after village locations. Internal inspection is essential.
