About
Bradley Hall is delighted to present Woodside Cottage, a charming four-bedroom detached family home occupying a generous plot within the highly sought-after village of Shincliffe.
Surrounded by beautifully established wraparound gardens, this attractive home offers an excellent balance of character, versatile accommodation and peaceful outdoor space, making it ideal for family living.
The property is approached via a private driveway providing off-street parking and access to a detached garage.
Mature trees and established planting create a wonderful sense of privacy, while the expansive lawned gardens provide an ideal setting for children to play, outdoor entertaining or simply enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

Double doors open directly onto the gardens, allowing the outside to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. A separate dining room offers the perfect space for formal entertaining or family meals.
The kitchen is well-appointed with an excellent range of wall and base units, ample worktop space and room for everyday dining.
A practical utility room and ground floor WC provide additional convenience and storage, with external access to the garden.
The ground floor also benefits from a highly versatile fourth bedroom, which could equally serve as a home office, playroom, snug or guest accommodation to suit a variety of lifestyles.
To the first floor are three generously proportioned bedrooms in addition to a study.
The principal bedroom enjoys fitted wardrobes and a spacious en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-presented family bathroom.
Externally, the gardens are undoubtedly one of the property's standout features.
Extending around the home, they comprise extensive lawns, mature trees, established borders and private seating areas, creating a peaceful and secluded setting rarely found so close to Durham City.
The detached workshop/storeroom and driveway complete this exceptional family home.
