Set within the Ashwood development and a short walk from Durham Market Place, this three-storey, three-bedroom townhouse offers substantial living space across approximately 1,561 sq ft. Built in 2003, the property includes a long integral garage with power and remote-controlled door, a rear decked garden at first-floor level, and private off-street parking. Vacant possession makes it immediately available for occupation or letting.
The house is structurally sound and functional but requires a light-to-medium cosmetic renovation to modernise finishes and fixtures. The kitchen/dining area, principal bedroom with en suite, and generous living room with bay window provide strong bones for a comfortable family home or a high-yield rental conversion given the nearby university and student neighbourhood classification. EPC awaited; main heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators.
Practical considerations: the plot is small and council tax is Band E (above average). Double glazing is installed (noted as pre-2002), and utilities have not been independently tested. The property will particularly suit investors seeking proximity to Durham city centre or buyers wanting a well-built townhouse they can personalise.
