Summary - Red Hills Terrace, Durham, DH1 DH1 4AX
4 bed 1 bath Terraced
Spacious period home with refurbishment potential in a student‑friendly neighbourhood.
Central Durham location within easy walking distance of city centre and university buildings
An unusual mid‑terrace property formed by combining numbers 2 and 3 Red Hills Terrace, offering four good‑sized bedrooms and nearly 1,000 sq ft of flexible living space in a central Durham location. Its proximity to the city centre, university buildings and transport links makes it particularly well suited to investors seeking student lets or to buyers wanting a roomy family home close to amenities.
The house retains period character—feature fireplace, sash‑style windows and solid brick construction—and benefits from practical updates such as double glazing, gas central heating and roof‑mounted solar panels that offset running costs. Accommodation includes a lounge, a generous open‑plan kitchen/diner with pantry, utility and cellar access, plus a small enclosed rear courtyard and a balcony off bedroom four.
Materials and condition are mixed: the property requires cosmetic updating and some renovation, and it has a single shared bathroom. Practical considerations include on‑street parking (permit zone), slow broadband in the area, and a Coal Mining Reporting Area designation that may need further investigations. Sale is chain free, offering a quicker purchase for buyers ready to refurbish.
Overall, this is a practical acquisition with clear rental or refurbishment upside. Investors will appreciate the student neighbourhood location and four‑bed layout; owner‑occupiers should budget for modernisation to unlock the property’s full potential.
