This chain-free, ground-floor one-bedroom flat in Belmont offers straightforward ownership or a ready-made rental opportunity. Previously let at £700 PCM, the property has proven tenant appeal and can be sold furnished for an immediate investment or an easy move-in for a downsizer or first-time buyer.
The accommodation is practical and well maintained: a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobes, separate fitted kitchen with appliances, living room with feature fireplace, and bathroom with electric shower over the bath. UPVC double glazing and a combi gas boiler supply heating, keeping running costs modest in this largely affluent, low-crime area.
Outside, residents benefit from tidy communal gardens and ample off-street parking, plus close walking access to local shops, bus services and Durham city. The block dates from the late 1960s/1970s and presents as a compact, low-rise development in a sought-after suburban setting.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold (long lease remaining), EPC rating C, and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated — there may be scope for improving thermal performance. Internal space is modest at around 485 sq ft, so it’s best suited to a single occupant, couple or investor seeking a low-maintenance let.
