This attractive property presents an excellent opportunity for a first-time buyer, family, or investor, with early viewing strongly recommended. While requiring some cosmetic updating and upgrading, the home offers a spacious and versatile layout, and the asking price has been set to generously reflect the potential for improvement. Originally a three-bedroom home, it is currently configured as a two-bedroom property, providing scope for reinstating the original layout if desired.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hallway, a lounge with open-plan access to the dining room, a fitted kitchen, and a useful rear utility/store area. To the first floor there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, along with a shower room/WC. Outside, the property occupies a pleasant position with a forecourt garden to the front and a generous enclosed garden to the rear, ideal for outdoor enjoyment.
Located in the highly sought-after Gilesgate area on the outskirts of Durham City, the property is within easy walking distance of the city centre and picturesque riverside walks. It is also well placed for excellent transport links, with the train station, the A690, and the A1(M) all within easy reach, making it an ideal choice for commuters.
The area is well served by local amenities including shops, a convenience store, a welcoming public house, and a selection of take-away restaurants. Dragonville retail park is just a short distance away, offering further shopping facilities, a supermarket, and a petrol station, while Durham City itself provides a comprehensive range of amenities, leisure facilities, and cultural attractions.
Families will find a good choice of schools nearby, including Durham Free School, Durham Gilesgate Primary School, and St Hild's C of E Primary School, making this a particularly appealing option for those with children.
