This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Taylor Avenue offers roomy living and an immediate sense of warmth, well suited to families or first-time buyers seeking space close to Durham. The lounge receives plenty of natural light through sliding patio doors that open onto a generous rear garden — a practical outdoor space for children, pets, or social gardening. The kitchen-diner provides a comfortable family hub with clear scope to update to modern tastes. Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family bathroom; there is also a ground-floor guest W/C for everyday convenience.
Practical details add to the home's appeal: freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A), mains gas central heating and double glazing. The property sits in a quiet residential street with on-street parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity, and it is within easy reach of Durham city centre. Local schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding option within the wider area, making the location workable for families.
Buyers should note the wider area scores as economically deprived and is described as an industrious, endeavouring community; this influences local services and long-term resale dynamics. The EPC is D. On-street parking only and average local crime are practical considerations. The house is a solid post-war build with filled cavity walls and appears well maintained but offers further potential for modernising the kitchen and cosmetic updates to maximise value.
Overall, this is a straightforward, well-sized home offering clear family living and renovation upside at a modest price point. It will suit purchasers wanting immediate accommodation with the option to personalise and improve over time, and it may also attract investors targeting rental demand in a town-fringe location.
