This ground-floor two-bedroom flat in DH1 offers a practical, move-in-ready base close to Durham city centre, university and hospital. The layout is traditional with a spacious lounge, a well-kept kitchen and one bath, suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking straightforward accommodation with long lease security.
Practical benefits include a private off-street parking space, double glazing, gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and a 133-year lease remaining. The building dates from the late 1990s/early 2000s and feels modern in style; the flat’s 637 sq ft provides comfortable room sizes for everyday living.
Notable negatives are factual: the property is leasehold, located within an area recorded as having higher crime levels, and broadband provision is only average. There is a single bathroom and no indication of recent major refurbishment, so buyers should budget for cosmetic updates if desired.
For investors the property has been estimated to achieve around £1,050 pcm in rent, which equates to a rough gross yield near 8% at the current asking price — figures to be verified independently. Chain-free sale and a long lease make the purchase process simpler for motivated buyers.
