Summary - BEDE LODGE RED HILLS LANE DURHAM DH1 4DR
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Historic family home with private gardens and extensive parking near the city.
Grade II listed Gothic Revival converted chapel with vaulted ceilings
Bede Lodge is a rare Grade II listed Gothic Revival home tucked minutes from Durham city centre. The converted chapel delivers dramatic vaulted ceilings, arched windows and a generous lounge ideal for entertaining or quiet family life. Mature grounds, fruit trees and a decked terrace provide private outdoor space while a large courtyard offers parking for up to five cars.
Internally the house blends period detail with practical updates: a galley kitchen with granite worktops, a bespoke bathroom with a roll-top bath, and fitted wardrobes in the ground-floor bedroom. The former bell tower now houses two large double bedrooms with original fireplaces, and the living room benefits from dual-aspect garden views and a gas fireplace.
Important considerations are factual and material. The building’s listed status (Grade II) restricts alterations and may complicate major works or extensions. The property has a single main bathroom and relatively slow broadband speeds, which could affect home-working. Council tax is above average. EPC rating is currently to be confirmed.
This home will suit buyers seeking character and proximity to Durham’s schools, cathedral and rail connections — professionals and families who value heritage, generous outside space and off-street parking, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities that accompany a listed property.
