Secluded single-storey living close to Durham city and top schools.
Detached four-bedroom bungalow over 1,350 sq ft on ~0.6 acre plot
Set on approximately 0.6 acres at the head of Almoners Barn, this detached four-bedroom bungalow offers rare single-storey living close to Durham city centre. The property extends to over 1,350 sq ft, with a detached double garage, private gravel drive and mature trees providing strong privacy and a large, lawned garden with a paved patio — ideal for family outdoor life or gardening projects.
Internally the layout follows a traditional plan with a generous open-plan lounge and dining area anchored by a feature stone wall and working open fire. The kitchen has integrated appliances including a Zanussi oven and induction hob, plus a utility room for extra storage. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; three further double bedrooms and a fully tiled main bathroom complete the accommodation.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house was built in the late 1960s–1970s, has double glazing added post-2002, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of D. The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and although the home is well-appointed, there is scope for energy-efficiency upgrades and cosmetic modernisation to match contemporary standards.
This location suits families and professionals seeking spacious single-storey living close to top schools (including Durham Johnston catchment) and city amenities. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal average — important for home-working buyers. Council tax is shown as Band G, and the property is offered freehold, with ample parking and a significant plot that presents long-term enhancement potential.
