A charming, extended THREE bedroom 1930s semi-detached property with a traditional layout, two reception rooms, countryside views, character features, landscaped garden and a versatile garden office space– perfect for modern family life with style and flexibility.

This beautifully presented 1930s semi-detached home offers a wonderful blend of character and contemporary comfort. A block-paved driveway leads to the entrance vestibule, opening into a welcoming hallway where original detailing begins to shine through.

The ground floor benefits from a useful W.C. and two elegant reception rooms – the formal front dining room showcases a large bay window, classic picture rail, built-in alcove storage, and a striking period fireplace, while the rear lounge has been extended to provide generous family living space with a feature fireplace, further alcove storage, and French doors that open directly to a covered pergola seating area in the garden – ideal for summer entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with sleek high-gloss units and integrated appliances including a fridge freezer, gas hob, double oven, and dishwasher, with space provided for a washing machine. The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a tranquil yet practical outdoor space, featuring a level lawn, patio and pergola seating area perfect for enjoying the warmer months.

Upstairs, the landing is a bright and open space, with a spindled balustrae and a window for added natural light. The first floor accommodation lead soff the landing and also includes a hatch offering access to some useful storage. There are three bedrooms in total – the master bedroom to the front enjoys countryside views over the rooftops below, and thanks to its elevated position, catches the last of the sun; it also benefits from a generous bay window and extensive fitted wardrobes. The second bedroom is situated to the rear of the property and overlooks the beautiful garden, and includes some original alcove storage. The third bedroom, also to the front, makes an ideal nursery, single room or dedicated home office. The bathroom has a timeless finish, complete with bath, tiled surround, and a modern vanity unit housing the sink and WC.

Externally, the garage has been cleverly reconfigured to provide a practical storage area to the front and, to the rear, a smart, insulated office or hobby room – ideal for those working from home or in need of a creative retreat.

A much-loved period home, thoughtfully updated for today’s lifestyle – early viewing is highly recommended.

The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped and is arranged over gentle tiers, creating a series of defined spaces that offer both functionality and charm. Directly accessed via French doors from the rear lounge, the lower level features a sheltered paved seating area beneath a pergola – a lovely spot for al fresco dining or morning coffee. A few steps lead up to a neat lawned section, ideal for family enjoyment, while the upper tier provides an additional paved seating area perfectly positioned to catch the sun. Beyond this, a low-maintenance, picket-fenced section with artificial turf has been cleverly designed as a safe and appealing play area for the seller’s young child.

To the front, the property continues to impress with a block-paved driveway providing off-street parking and a low-maintenance gravelled garden framed by mature hedging and established planting, offering kerb appeal with ease. Whether relaxing outdoors or watching children play, the garden spaces have been carefully curated to suit both everyday living and entertaining.

Shotley Bridge is a village rich in heritage and charm, nestled on the banks of the River Derwent and surrounded by rolling countryside.
