About this home
A rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished Grade II Listed four-bedroom period home in the highly sought-after Gilesgate area of Durham. Brimming with character and offering generous living accommodation, this charming property also benefits from a beautifully maintained south-facing garden, making it an exceptional family home with no vendor chain.
Ideally situated less than a mile from Durham City Centre, the property enjoys easy access to a wealth of local amenities, excellent transport links, and major road networks including the A690 and A1(M). Durham's renowned Cathedral and Castle, university campus, railway station on the East Coast Main Line, and hospital are all within easy reach. From the rear of the house, footpaths provide easy access to Pelaw woods and Durhams Riverbanks making this an ideal location for commuters, professionals, and families alike.
The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming hallway, which provides access to an elegant front living room and a spacious dining room to the rear. French doors open onto the garden, creating a wonderful connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The dining room flows through to a traditional galley-style kitchen, fitted with a range of units and providing access to the rear lobby. From here there is direct access to the garden, along with a ground floor shower room and a versatile fourth bedroom, ideal for guests, home working or multi-generational living.
To the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, complemented by both a family bathroom and an additional shower room, offering flexibility for modern family life.
Externally, the delightful south-facing rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with mature planted borders, a patio seating area and a useful garden shed, providing a peaceful outdoor retreat. Permit parking is available to the front of the property, subject to application through the local authority.
Combining period charm, spacious accommodation and an enviable location close to the heart of Durham, this is a unique home that rarely becomes available. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate everything this exceptional property has to offer.
