Set across three floors and finished in a contemporary style (built 2021), this three-bedroom mid-terrace townhouse sits close to Durham city centre and offers flexible living of around 1,033 sq ft. The property has practical features for busy households: three bathrooms, a separate lounge, off-street parking to the front and a private rear garden. Chain-free sale and mains gas central heating mean straightforward moving or lettings setup.
The house will suit buyers seeking low-maintenance, modern accommodation near the university and city amenities. Room sizes are modest and the plot is small, so the layout works best for those wanting efficient, city-centre living rather than large gardens or expansive reception space. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or student tenants.
Important drawbacks are factual: the area records higher crime levels than average, and the neighbourhood is classified as a cosmopolitan student locality — this influences local demand and day-to-day activity. The property is freehold with a B EPC and Council Tax band D (moderate), but purchasers should note the smaller plot and compact rooms when comparing with family houses in quieter suburbs.
For investors, the three bathrooms, separate reception spaces and proximity to university facilities support steady rental demand. For owner-occupiers seeking city convenience, the house provides a contemporary, low-upkeep base with parking and private outdoor space, though buyers preferring larger gardens or very quiet streets may wish to look elsewhere.
