Offered to the market is this superb townhouse-style property, forming part of a small and quiet development on the edge of Durham City Centre. The property has been much improved, featuring brand new sash windows, new carpets and redecoration throughout.
The floor plan comprises an entrance hallway, ground floor bedroom or study, inner hallway, downstairs WC and access to the integral garage. To the first floor there is a large, bright L-shaped lounge that faces east and enjoys lovely morning sunshine, a dining kitchen fitted with a range of integrated appliances, and a useful laundry/utility area. The second floor features three further bedrooms, one with en-suite, and a family bathroom fitted with a white suite.
The rear of the property enjoys west-facing views over open countryside, creating a lovely balance of light throughout the day. Externally there are flower beds to the front and rear planted with a variety of shrubs, together with a private driveway providing off-street parking.
The property occupies a favourable position at the end of the development beside an archway, meaning only the top floor on the left-hand side is attached to another property. Cross Valley Court lies in the sought-after area of Neville’s Cross, within walking distance of Durham City Centre and its shops, restaurants and amenities. Ideal for commuters, with regular buses on the A167 and Durham Station around a 16-minute walk away, offering direct trains to Newcastle, York and London. It should prove popular with families due to nearby schools including St Margaret’s, Neville’s Cross, Durham Johnston, St Leonard’s and Framwellgate.

Further Notes - Buyers of this home benefit from a rare and advantageous ownership arrangement. The eight houses at Cross Valley Court collectively own the freehold to the development, the courtyard and an area of woodland to the rear. Each homeowner holds a share in the management company that owns the land, meaning there is no external management company involved. Each household nominates a director, and maintenance decisions are made collectively.
The current maintenance contribution is £100 per month, covering the upkeep of the courtyard, servicing of the shared septic tank (offset by reduced water bills) and electricity costs for its operation. There are no external management fees, and building insurance is arranged individually by each homeowner.
The lease terms are designed to preserve the peaceful and well-kept nature of the development. Houses may be rented only to single households and not used for business purposes, and all owners are required to maintain their property’s exterior. Any external or structural changes must be approved by the management company’s directors. Full legal details will be provided by your solicitor, including guidance on shared facilities and access to the jointly owned woodland.
This property represents a unique opportunity to acquire a spacious, well-presented home in a desirable location, with the added benefit of shared freehold ownership and low, transparent running costs.
