Extended ground and first floors for extra living space
This extended 1930s semi‑detached house on South Crescent offers flexible family living close to Durham city centre. The ground‑ and first‑floor extensions create two reception rooms, a larger kitchen/dining area and three double bedrooms, plus both a bathroom and separate shower room — practical for busy households.
Outside there are front and rear gardens and a two‑to‑three car driveway, convenient for families and commuters. The property sits within walking distance of shops, the bus and railway stations, well‑regarded schools and County Hall, with good road links via the A167. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working.
Buyers should note a few material points: the area records higher crime levels, the property lies within a coal mining reporting area so further searches may be required, and a chartered survey is recommended to confirm building safety. There is a residents’ parking scheme in operation. Council Tax Band D applies.
Overall this is a surprisingly roomy, characterful family home in a highly sought North End location, offering immediate occupation or potential to update and personalise. The combination of size, location and parking makes it suitable for families wanting city access with suburban feel.
