Summary - 3 Southend, South Road, DURHAM DH1 3TG
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful city home minutes from Durham University with private garden.
Two well-proportioned double bedrooms
A classic Victorian mid-terrace on South Road, this two-double-bedroom freehold home combines period charm with convenient city living. The spacious lounge retains original features and the fitted kitchen opens to a private rear garden — a rare find so close to Durham University and the city centre.
Practical details suit early buyers: an average-sized footprint (circa 882 sq ft), modern family bathroom and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. Secondary glazing helps with comfort and the property sits in a low-crime, very affluent area with excellent mobile signal and easy walking access to local shops, colleges and leisure amenities.
Buyers should note a few material points. The house is solid-brick as built and assumed to have no cavity insulation, so retrospective wall insulation may be required to maximise energy efficiency. Broadband speeds are reported as slow — important for home working or streaming — and there is a single family bathroom serving two double bedrooms. One bedroom is modest in size.
Overall this property will appeal to first-time buyers and those seeking a long-term city base near the university. It offers immediate liveability with clear scope for targeted upgrades (insulation, broadband improvement, cosmetic modernisation) to enhance comfort and future value.
