A modern three-bedroom detached house built in 2020, set within easy walking distance of Durham city centre. The layout suits families: a light lounge, an open-plan kitchen/diner, solarglass conservatory and a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes, ensuite and private balcony. The conservatory and glass verandah create year-round covered outdoor space while the professionally landscaped rear garden offers multiple seating tiers and strong privacy backing onto wildflower meadows.
Practical benefits include a double driveway, single garage with power and lighting, gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and freehold tenure with Council Tax band D. The property is an average-sized home (around 927 sq ft) that feels well laid-out for everyday family life and occasional entertaining.
Notable considerations: the house sits in a cosmopolitan area used heavily by students and recorded local crime levels are high, which may matter to some buyers. The site lies within a Durham City Conservation Area and a coal mining reporting area — potential buyers should check restrictions and specialist searches. Viewing is essential to appreciate the private rear aspect and the tiered garden.
Overall this is a convenient, low-maintenance family home with sensible modern fixtures and outdoor space that will suit buyers wanting city access plus a private garden; it will also attract interest from buy-to-let investors because of the nearby university and college buildings.
