Shincliffe, Durham, DH1

Meadow Cottage is a unique three bedroom single-storey property, forming part of a small hamlet of just eight homes in Shincliffe. Set within beautifully landscaped south-facing gardens that measure to approx. 0.4 acres the property enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views across the surrounding countryside, while Durham City is just five minutes away.

At the heart of the home is an impressive open-plan living space extending towards the garden, with floor-to-ceiling windows creating a strong connection with the outdoor surroundings via aluminium bi-folding doors. The room benefits from underfloor heating, solid oak flooring and a corner wood-burning stove, while the bi folding doors open directly onto a circular patio. The adjoining contemporary kitchen is fitted with white units, quartz worktops, Black Quooker tap and a four-oven Aga. The Kitchen and living area enjoy Porcelanosa tiles flowing through the space.

There are three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly characterful, featuring a double-height vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, a window seat and an inglenook fireplace with cast iron wood-burning stove. A further double bedroom is positioned towards the far end of the property and benefits from oak flooring, patio door opening onto the garden and a luxury en suite wet room with underfloor heating. The third double bedroom has Jack and Jill access to the beautifully presented family bathroom, which features quality fittings and underfloor heating.

The professionally landscaped gardens have been arranged into distinct areas and include established trees, native hedging, a vegetable plot, natural pond and reed bed. A heated summer house offers a versatile home office, complemented by a greenhouse and potting shed.

The property is approached via a private road and electric gates. The former double garage has been converted to provide a versatile studio/home gym with WC. Remote-controlled Velux windows throughout the property provide additional convenience and incorporate an automatic rain-sensing closure function.

AGENT NOTE:

The property is not connected to mains drainage and has its own sewage treatment system, incorporating a reed bed for additional filtration. The property also benefits from LPG-fired central heating.

Planning Permission has previously been approved to extend the property to create additional bedroom space to the first floor - reference DM/21/02648/FPA
