Summary - 8 DUNELM COURT DURHAM DH1 4QX
5 bed 3 bath Terraced
Spacious five-bedroom home with garage and private garden.
Uninterrupted Durham Cathedral and Castle views
Set on prestigious South Street, 8 Dunelm Court is a substantial five-bedroom townhouse with direct views of Durham Cathedral and Castle. The layout spans lower-ground to second floors, offering flexible living for families, professionals or multi-occupancy rental — two bedrooms are on the lower ground with a utility and shower room, while reception rooms on the first floor capture elevated river and cathedral vistas.
The principal living area is an open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting space finished with oak flooring, shaker-style units and integrated appliances; a separate lounge with built-in shelving provides a quieter sitting room. Two further bathrooms plus a shower room serve the five bedrooms, and the second-floor bedroom features loft-style character with exposed brick and a walk-in wardrobe.
Outside there is an enclosed private garden, gated access to a secure garage and an allocated parking space. Communal grounds are maintained with a modest service charge of £55 per month, and the property is freehold. Local amenities, well-regarded schools and direct rail links make the location highly convenient.
Notable practical points: broadband speeds are reported slow, council tax is relatively high, and the neighbourhood records very high crime levels — factors buyers should consider alongside the home’s significant central appeal. The house dates from the late 1970s–early 1980s with cavity walls and partial insulation assumed; glazing is double but install date is unknown, so buyers may want to check thermal and sound performance and any future improvement costs.
