Leazes Place, Durham, County Durham, DH1

Listed 25 Aug 2026 · Durham
This exceptional and rarely available detached residence occupies a superb corner plot within the highly sought-after Nevilles Cross area of Durham City. Originally two semi-detached homes, the properties have been thoughtfully combined to create a substantial family dwelling extending to over seven bedrooms, four versatile reception rooms and two kitchen areas, offering an abundance of living space ideally suited to larger or multi-generational families. While requiring a degree of internal modernisation, the property presents a fantastic opportunity for purchasers seeking a home they can update and personalise to their own tastes. The attractive asking price reflects the work required and represents excellent value given the size, location and future potential on offer. Conveniently positioned within walking distance of Durham City Centre and the railway station, the property also falls within the catchment area of the highly regarded Durham Johnston Comprehensive School, together with a selection of well-regarded primary schools, making it an ideal choice for families. A particular feature of the home is the impressive outdoor space. Generous gardens extend to the side and rear elevations, providing a wonderful environment for family life, entertaining and relaxation, whilst also offering scope for further development, subject to the necessary permissions. To the front, a mature and well-stocked garden creates an excellent degree of privacy. Ample parking is available via a two/three-car driveway leading to an attached garage with workshop area beyond, together with a second driveway to the front serving a detached single garage. Offering outstanding space, flexibility and potential in one of Durham's most desirable residential locations, this is a truly unique opportunity that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
