Set in the heart of Durham city centre, this two-bedroom apartment offers low-maintenance living with allocated parking and a private terrace. The layout provides a spacious living room, a fitted kitchen with dining space, a large master bedroom with ensuite and a second double bedroom with terrace access.
The property will suit a first-time buyer or professional wanting immediate city-centre convenience — shops, parks, university and transport links are all within easy walking distance. Modern build details, double glazing and an EPC rating of C keep running costs reasonable for an electric-heated home.
Important practical cautions: the flat is leasehold with only around one year remaining on the lease. That short term is likely to prevent many mortgage offers and will require urgent legal and financial advice; purchasers should confirm lending options and lease-extension costs before committing. The area records higher crime levels; consider security and insurance implications.
Overall, this is a well-presented, low-upkeep city flat with useful parking and outdoor space, which offers good immediate convenience but carries material tenure and lending challenges that limit its suitability without resolving the lease term.
