Set in the desirable Mount Oswald area of Durham, this substantial five-bedroom, three-bathroom detached home occupies a generous plot with a large private rear garden and double detached garage. The house offers flexible accommodation across three floors — ideal for family life, home-working, or multi-generational living. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime add practical comfort.
Internally the rooms are well proportioned and mostly well maintained, providing a solid platform for personalisation. Some areas of décor would benefit from updating to suit contemporary tastes, so buyers should expect light refurbishment rather than full renovation. The overall size is typical for the style, at about 1,819 sq ft, with approximately 46 rooms including ancillary spaces.
Location is a key strength: a short walk to Durham Johnston School and within easy reach of Durham city centre, local green spaces and transport links (A167/A1(M)). The property is freehold and sits in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood with strong schooling options nearby.
Buyers should note council tax band G (quite expensive) and that the home is offered as a well-cared-for property that may need cosmetic updating rather than full modernisation. No flood risk is recorded and the plot and garage provide excellent storage and parking for family needs.
