About this home

** Zero Deposit Guarantee Available ** Situated within one of Durham's most desirable residential locations, this impressive four-bedroom detached home occupies a private position at the head of an exclusive cul-de-sac of just 15 properties in the ever-popular Nevilles Cross area. Perfectly placed for families and professionals alike, the property is just a two-minute walk from Durham Johnston Comprehensive School and within easy walking distance of Durham City Centre, Durham Train Station and Durham University. With excellent access to the A167, the location also offers superb commuter links whilst retaining a peaceful and secluded setting.

Tucked away in a private corner position, the property enjoys a high degree of privacy and boasts a detached double driveway and garage, providing ample off-street parking. The home has been thoughtfully designed to offer spacious and versatile accommodation throughout, making it ideal for modern family living.

Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads to a generous living room, perfect for relaxing and entertaining. There is a separate dining room which can also serve as a home office, catering perfectly to today's flexible lifestyles. To the rear of the property lies the heart of the home; a spacious kitchen diner offering excellent room for family meals and social gatherings. Leading directly from the kitchen is a cosy snug, creating a fantastic additional reception space. Both the dining room and snug benefit from patio doors opening onto the rear garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living.

The expansive rear garden is a real highlight, offering a private and enclosed outdoor space ideal for families, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. A convenient ground-floor WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

To the first floor, the property continues to impress with four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own ensuite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Rarely do homes become available that combine such generous living space with an exceptional location. With outstanding schools, Durham City, the university and transport links all within easy reach, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure a substantial family home in one of Durham's most sought-after neighbourhoods.
