Summary - 46 ORCHARD DRIVE DURHAM DH1 1LA
4 bed 3 bath Semi-Detached
Versatile layout with annexe potential and mature gardens.
Spacious accommodation over three floors with four double bedrooms
Set on an elevated plot just ten minutes' walk from Durham Market Place, this substantial semi-detached property offers generous, flexible accommodation across three floors. The layout includes four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, multiple reception rooms and an expansive lower-ground reception that opens directly to the garden.
Notable features include a terrace with open rear views, mature gardens to three sides, off-street parking plus a garage, and useful extras such as a sauna and a dedicated laundry room. The configuration provides clear scope to form a self-contained annexe or independent rental suite, ideal for multi-generational living or income potential.
Buyers should note practical matters: the property currently has no central heating system (electric heaters assumed), council tax is above average, and the location has a medium flood risk. Constructed mid-20th century, the house benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002 and solid cavity walls, but prospective purchasers should allow for heating installation and consider any modernization works to personal taste.
Well placed for riverside walks, local amenities and strong school catchments, this home will suit families needing room to grow, buyers seeking annexe or rental opportunity, or anyone wanting a spacious house close to Durham city centre. Early inspection is recommended to appreciate the scale, garden aspect and potential.
