Cross View Lane, Nevilles Cross, Durham, Durham, DH1

Situated in one of Durham’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, Cross View House is a striking Victorian residence that has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while retaining its 19th-century charm. This substantial detached home offers five double bedrooms, three versatile reception rooms (two of which could serve as additional bedrooms or a separate dining room), beautifully proportioned interiors, and high-end design across four floors—all just moments from the heart of the city.

Offered with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that seamlessly blends classic character with contemporary style.

At the heart of the property is a breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, designed for family living and entertaining. Bathed in natural light and finished with engineered oak chevron flooring, this space exudes warmth and sophistication. The bespoke kitchen includes quartz worktops, a large central island, integrated premium appliances, a wine fridge, and a pop-up power unit with USB-A and USB-C charging ports. A rear door connects the interior to the landscaped garden, while stylish utility room and guest WC add practical convenience.

The ground floor also features a versatile playroom, which has previously served as a separate dining room. Retaining original parquet flooring, it provides an inviting, adaptable space for families or could function as an additional bedroom.

On the first floor, the formal sitting room serves as an elegant retreat centred around a striking onyx fireplace, with elevated views and period proportions. Two generous double bedrooms are also on this floor, complemented by a spa-inspired family bathroom with travertine and wood-style finishes, contrasting black Lusso fixtures, a freestanding stone bathtub, and a walk-in AcquaVita Rainfall Shower in matte black.

The second floor hosts three further bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with custom-fitted wardrobes and a beautifully designed en-suite shower room. A second family shower room completes this level, ideal for guests or a growing family.

A unique spiral staircase leads to the top-floor study, a tranquil workspace with panoramic countryside views, perfect for focus, inspiration, or peaceful contemplation.

Externally, the property offers a generous rear garden designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Featuring composite decking, inviting seating areas, and thoughtfully planned low-maintenance planting, the garden creates a year-round holiday vibe. There is ample space for children to play, as well as for alfresco dining and social gatherings. Additional practical benefits include direct access to a garage with an electric roller door and private parking for up to six vehicles—a rare advantage in such a central location.

With its elevated position, impeccable design, proximity to Durham’s top schools, green spaces, transport links, and amenities, Cross View House offers a truly exceptional standard of living in one of the city’s most sought-after areas.
