Chain‑free family home near top schools and city amenities.
Extended three‑bed semi with generous internal space
A spacious extended semi‑detached house in Whitesmocks Avenue offering practical family living close to Durham city. The house provides a generous kitchen/diner with French doors to the enclosed garden, two comfortable reception rooms and three well-proportioned bedrooms including a master with en‑suite wet room.
Recent works include a new roof, full re‑wiring and UPVC double glazing; the property is offered chain free and on a freehold title. Practical features such as two off‑street parking spaces, mains gas central heating and modern bathroom fittings make it ready to live in while still offering scope for cosmetic updating to personalise interiors.
Notable positives are the strong school catchment and excellent local transport links into Durham. Buyers should be aware of some practical issues: the EPC is rated D, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, and local crime data is higher than average. Council tax is moderate.
Overall this is a well‑located family home that balances immediate usability with potential to add value through insulation improvements and cosmetic modernisation. Viewers seeking easy access to Durham’s schools and amenities will find the location especially appealing.
