This charming Victorian end-terraced cottage in West Rainton combines period character with practical family living across three floors. The house offers two double bedrooms on the first floor plus a useful attic room with Velux windows and an ensuite shower — ideal for a home office, guest room or teenage retreat. The cosy lounge with exposed brick and wood-burning stove creates a warm focal point, while a well-fitted kitchen and rear sun/sitting room provide everyday practicality.
Externally the property has a small lawned frontage and a private rear yard. Parking is on-street only, and the plot is very small, so outdoor space is limited. The cottage benefits from UPVC double glazing and gas central heating, and at around 925 sq ft provides a deceptively generous internal layout for DH4.
Location is a strong selling point: village amenities, a primary school nearby, good bus links and quick access to the A1(M) and A690 make commuting straightforward. Durham city centre is approximately five miles away, offering wider shopping, leisure and cultural options. Overall, the house will suit families or buyers seeking a characterful home near transport links, but those wanting larger gardens or off-street parking may find limitations.
