Summary - 13 13 13 Albert Street, Durham, DH1 DH1 4RJ
5 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Large wraparound garden, garage and excellent central transport links.
Five bedrooms across four floors, strong period features and high ceilings
A substantial five-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace in central Durham, arranged over four floors with generous room proportions and many original features. High ceilings, bay windows and period fireplaces give the house strong character and flexible living space for a large family or sharer group.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout; services include mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, secondary glazing and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated). There is only one main bathroom plus a separate WC, and the house has been adapted in the past (second-floor layout altered in the 1970s). Council tax is described as quite expensive and crime levels in the immediate area are high — both practical factors to weigh when budgeting and planning improvements.
Outside, the wraparound L-shaped garden receives good sun through the day and includes mature trees and an old air-raid shelter with conversion potential. A single-car garage with electricity and driveway parking provide useful secure storage and parking. Location is very central on Albert Street, close to shops, eateries and the train station, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attributes that suit professionals, families and student-prospective lets alike.
Overall this is a character-filled, spacious home with clear scope to add significant value through modernisation and insulation upgrades. Buyers should budget for refurbishment work, confirm service conditions, and consider safety/security measures given local crime levels.
