Summary - 6 Brakespear Close DH1 4BF
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Quiet cul-de-sac location moments from Durham city centre and station.
Four bedrooms including principal with en-suite
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in central Durham, this four-bedroom detached home suits families and professionals seeking low-maintenance, contemporary living close to the city and transport links. The ground floor offers flexible living with a bright dual-aspect lounge, separate dining room or home office, and a kitchen fitted with marble worktops and integrated appliances. French doors open to a private rear garden and large patio, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for children and entertaining.
Upstairs, four bedrooms include a principal bedroom with en-suite and several rooms with fitted storage; the layout accommodates family life, home study or guest space. Practical details include double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators, a detached garage and double-length driveway. Constructed after 2012 and sited on a decent plot, the home benefits from a modern build quality and good broadband and mobile connectivity.
Considerations: the advertised overall size is compact for a four-bedroom house, and council tax is above average. The area records average crime levels. These factors are balanced by proximity to highly regarded schools, Durham city centre and the train station, making the property particularly appealing to commuter families who value location and low-maintenance external space.
This freehold property offers a ready-to-live-in option with room to personalise interior finishes where desired, and potential for long-term value growth given the address, transport links and strong local school catchments.
