Quietly tucked at the foot of Western Hill, this two-bedroom end-terrace offers compact, characterful city living with no onward chain. The double-aspect main bedroom and living room windows bring generous natural light, and there's a glimpse of Durham Cathedral from the principal bedroom — a rare perk for a property of this size.
Arranged over three floors, the house has been well cared for and combines period features (sash windows, stripped wooden floors, feature fireplace with inset stove) with practical modern upgrades in the kitchen and shower room. A small rear patio and shed provide outdoor space, while a loft with pull-down ladder gives extra storage.
Practical points to note: the home is freehold and in a conservation area, with mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). It’s compact at about 545 sq ft, with on-street permit parking only. The property lies within a Coal Mining Reporting Area — further searches are recommended. The immediate area is highly desirable and within easy walking distance of the city centre, public transport and schools, making it suitable for first-time buyers or professionals seeking a low-maintenance city base.
This house suits someone after a turn-key city pied-à-terre with period charm, or a first-time buyer looking to personalise a small, well-located home. Be aware of limited parking, the compact floorplan and conservation-area restrictions before viewing.
