Set in the heart of Durham City, this newly renovated three-bedroom mews offers contemporary living with character features such as dual bay windows and a galleried dining area. Freshly painted with new carpets and flooring throughout, the layout stretches over three storeys and includes a useful basement utility, separate ground-floor WC and an attractively fitted kitchen. A single modern bathroom serves three bedrooms. The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing (install dates unknown).
Practical outside space is a strength: a private courtyard entrance, an attached garage and an allocated parking space at the rear give rare off-street convenience for a city-centre home. The plot is a decent size for the setting, and the mid-terrace mews form provides a secure, tucked-away feel while keeping restaurants, shops and cultural amenities within easy walking distance.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important. Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, council tax is described as expensive, and the surrounding area records very high crime levels — buyers should factor local safety measures and insurance costs into their decision. Tenure is unknown and should be confirmed. There is one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be a consideration for some households.
This property will suit buyers seeking a low-maintenance, centrally located home with flexible living space — professionals, city families or investors looking for a well-presented rental in a busy student-and-professional neighbourhood. Its recent refurbishment reduces immediate spend, but verify tenure, local crime mitigation and broadband options before proceeding.
