Summary - COUNTY COURT BUILDINGS, HALLGARTH STREET DH1 3AT
4 bed 2 bath Terraced
Huge garden and cathedral views; ideal for renovation buyers and student lets.
Spacious 4-bed Georgian mid-terrace, 1,563 sq ft
Set on one of Durham’s most sought-after streets, this substantial mid-terrace Georgian townhouse offers 1,563 sq ft across multiple storeys with a huge rear garden and off-street parking. The house retains period character such as a stone wall feature and generous room proportions; the rear garden also enjoys a clear view of Durham Cathedral. Its location sits within easy walking distance of the city centre, university buildings and local amenities.
This is a probate, chain-free sale and the property requires total modernisation throughout. The layout includes an entrance hall, lounge, large open-plan kitchen/diner, utility room, ground-floor shower room, four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; the house is partially double glazed and built of solid brick (no built-in cavity insulation assumed), so buyers should budget for full refurbishment and possible thermal upgrades.
Important practical notes: the property sits in a conservation area and within a coal mining reporting area — further searches and specialist surveys are recommended. Council Tax band is high and crime levels in the area are recorded as high. The sale is subject to probate, and purchasers should allow time for legal formalities. For anyone seeking a renovation project with strong location advantages and a large garden with cathedral views, this presents clear refurbishment and rental or resale upside once modernised.
This home will suit investors, student-house conversions or buyers experienced with major renovation. Engage a chartered surveyor early to confirm structural, insulation and building-safety matters before committing funds.
