Summary - 2 VICTORIA TERRACE DURHAM DH1 4RW
6 bed 5 bath Terraced
Spacious 6-bed Victorian townhouse beside Wharton Park with annexe and parking.
Six bedrooms and five bathrooms, including self-contained annexe
Set on a prime stretch beside Wharton Park, this mid-19th-century Victorian townhouse offers generous family accommodation across four floors. At 2,670 sq ft the house includes six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a self-contained annexe — ideal for multigenerational living, guests or rental income. The property also benefits from off-street parking to the rear and a tiered front garden with direct access toward North Road and the park.
Period character is strong throughout: high ceilings, sash windows, a large Georgian-style living room with fireplace and original brickwork externally. The location is a major strength — a short walk to the railway station, city centre shops, excellent schools and green spaces including Flass Vale and Aykley Wood, with views toward Wharton Park and Durham Cathedral.
Buyers should budget for energy and fabric upgrades. The house is solid brick with no installed insulation (assumed), has an EPC grade F and runs on LPG-fired radiators — all of which point to upcoming energy-efficiency work and potentially higher running costs. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. Council Tax is banded high and the local crime level is recorded as high, which may concern some purchasers.
This is a characterful, substantial home for a family seeking space and proximity to city amenities and nature. It will suit buyers ready to invest in refurbishment and energy improvements to fully realise its potential and reduce long-term running costs.
