Summary - 12 WESTCOTT DRIVE DURHAM DH1 5AG
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Three bedrooms with extended open-plan living kitchen and dining area
This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on Westcott Drive is arranged over two floors and suits growing families seeking space close to Durham city amenities. The ground floor extension provides an open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with modern fittings and French doors out to a decked patio — ideal for everyday family life and casual entertaining. The front lounge has a bay window and a wood-burning stove, adding character and a cosy focal point for colder months.
Externally the property benefits from a driveway, single garage and low-maintenance gardens, plus solar panels are visible on the roof. The location is strong for families: highly regarded local primary and secondary schools nearby, quick access to Durham city centre (around a mile), the University Hospital of North Durham and good road links via the A167.
Practical points to note: there is a single family bathroom and a ground-floor WC only; buyers who need multiple bathrooms should consider whether the layout meets their long-term needs. Council Tax is Band C (approx. £2,268pa) and the energy performance rating is pending — buyers may wish to clarify running costs and efficiency before committing.
Overall this is a well-presented, medium-sized family home with modernised living spaces and sensible outdoor parking and storage. It will particularly appeal to families wanting good local schools and convenient access to workplaces and city amenities, while offering scope for further updating if desired.
