A larger-than-average four-bedroom detached home in central Durham, offered chain free and ready for a family to move in and adapt. The house sits on a generous plot with a large rear garden, driveway and integrated garage, giving practical outdoor space and parking for several cars. Internally there are three reception rooms and an extended breakfast kitchen — useful for family life and flexible living arrangements.
Built in the late 1990s/early 2000s and with double glazing and gas central heating, the property is generally sound and efficient (EPC grade C). The layout and room sizes are comfortable and adaptable: four double bedrooms upstairs and three reception rooms downstairs allow home working, play space or formal entertaining. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and the immediate area is affluent with low crime.
Buyers should note a few material points: council tax is high (Band G), there is a medium flooding risk for the area, and some internal décor is dated in places (for example older carpeting and a traditional fireplace). These are straightforward to address but factor into future running and improvement costs. The local neighbourhood is classified as having cosmopolitan student areas and delayed-retirement demographics — generally lively but suitable for families wanting central Durham convenience.
Overall this is a spacious, chain-free family home in a desirable Durham City location, offering scope to modernise and add value while benefiting from a large plot, strong connectivity and excellent nearby schools. It will particularly suit buyers seeking space, off-street parking and a sizable garden within walking distance of city amenities.
