3 Bedroom house

**Vacant Possession | No Forward Chain** A period mid-terrace property requiring modernisation, ideally located for access to Durham City, the train station, the hospital, the university, and several highly regarded schools.

Owned by the same family for over 50 years, this spacious home retains a number of attractive period features, including high ceilings and a beautiful bay window. The well-stocked front garden adds colour and strong kerb appeal.

The accommodation is entered via a porch leading to an inner hallway and briefly comprises a 12ft lounge and a 13ft dining room, separated by glazed sliding doors. To the rear, the kitchen is situated within an extension and is complemented by a useful ground-floor WC.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms, both benefiting from fitted wardrobes. A further room located off the second bedroom offers flexibility and could be used as a nursery, home office/study, or potentially converted into an en-suite, subject to any necessary consents. A shower room completes the first-floor accommodation.

The attic has been partially converted to provide a double bedroom with a dormer window and built-in wardrobe.

Externally, the property features a walled and gated rear yard with brick-built storage, together with a well-maintained front garden and patio area. Additional benefits include gas central heating and replacement double glazing to the majority of the property, installed during 2024 and 2025.

The property is conveniently located within easy reach of Durham City Centre, offering a comprehensive range of shopping, leisure, and recreational facilities.
