A three-bedroom semi-detached home in a small cul-de-sac on Nuns Row, Gilesgate, offered with no forward chain. The house sits on a modest plot with front and rear lawns, a driveway and a single garage — practical parking in a popular village location around 2 miles from Durham city centre. Gas central heating and double glazing are fitted; the build dates to the late 1960s/early 1970s.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or small family: lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, small conservatory, and three bedrooms upstairs with a single bathroom. The property needs some modernisation throughout — cosmetic updating and redecoration are required, making this a good opportunity for a purchaser wanting to add value with DIY or selective renovation.
Important practical details: the tenure is leasehold with approximately 938 years remaining and a low service charge of £15 per year. Broadband speeds are reported slow, mobile signal is excellent, and the area has very low flood risk and low crime. The property lies within a coal mining reporting area, so specialist searches are recommended as part of conveyancing.
Nearby amenities include primary and secondary schools rated Good, local shops in Gilesgate and quick access to the A690 and A1(M) for commuting. Buyers should note the single bathroom and mid-century fittings — budget for modernization costs when considering the purchase price.
