This extended mid-terraced house combines period bones with contemporary family living just under a mile from Durham city centre. The ground floor opens from a welcoming lounge with a recessed wood-burner into a spacious open-plan kitchen/dining/living hub with Rangemaster cooker and mains-fed underfloor heating to kitchen and utility. French doors open onto a thoughtfully landscaped rear garden with patio, lawn and a separate children’s play area — a practical outdoor space for families and entertaining.
Upstairs are four good-sized bedrooms, a generous family bathroom with freestanding bath and his-and-hers basins, and a large loft conversion with two Velux windows, power and lighting for flexible use as a playroom, office or bedroom. Practical features include UPVC double glazing, gas combi boiler and on-street parking. The property is freehold and has an EPC rating of C with modest council tax.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the house dates from before 1900 and exterior walls are stone/granite with no known insulation, which may affect running costs and comfort unless upgraded. The area records a very high crime rate, and parking is on-street only. Some images and the listing reference post-war appearance and potential damp/modernisation needs in places, so expect cosmetic updating or targeted maintenance in spots.
Overall this is a versatile family home in a convenient city-edge location, offering scope for further improvement and value-add through insulation, targeted repairs and cosmetic modernisation. It will suit families seeking generous internal space close to schools and Durham amenities, and buyers wanting a ready-to-use family layout with clear potential to increase comfort and energy performance.
