A handsome Victorian mid-terrace recently refurbished throughout, offering four bedrooms across generous living space (approx. 2,137 sq ft). The interior blends period character—sash windows, exposed beams and original fireplaces—with contemporary fittings, including a modern fitted kitchen, integrated appliances and two updated shower rooms. Set in Durham’s conservation area, the property sits moments from the Castle, Cathedral and the city’s amenities.
This house will appeal to buyers seeking a central city base or an income-producing asset close to the university. The rear garden and raised patio provide surprisingly private outside space and direct sightlines to Durham Cathedral, a rare feature for a mid-terrace city home. Practical advantages include mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing (install date unknown), freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Notable points to consider: the area is classified as a cosmopolitan student neighbourhood with higher local crime levels, and council tax is in the higher band (Band F). The building is solid-brick and, as constructed, appears to lack cavity insulation—this may affect running costs and could require retrofit insulation for improved energy efficiency. The plot is modest in size, and on-street parking and city-centre living should be expected.
Overall, this is a spacious, characterful period home that has been modernised for immediate occupation. It offers strong location-driven value—especially for investors or buyers wanting central Durham living—while buyers should factor in running costs and the neighbourhood profile when deciding to view.
