Description

A Stunning Family Home in One of the City's Most Sought-After Locations

We are delighted to present this beautifully presented and upgraded four-bedroom detached family residence, perfectly positioned in Orchard Drive — a peaceful cul-de-sac that's quickly emerging as one of Durham's most desirable addresses.

This exceptional home has been thoughtfully designed to suit the needs of modern family living. Upon entering, you're welcomed by a spacious hallway complete with a convenient under-stairs storage cupboard. The lounge offers a stylish and comfortable space for relaxation and entertaining, while the contemporary open-plan kitchen and dining area form the vibrant heart of the home. A practical utility room adds everyday convenience, and the versatile playroom can easily serve as a fourth bedroom. A sleek ground floor bathroom completes the downstairs layout.

Upstairs, the property features three generously sized bedrooms, two of which benefit from fitted wardrobes, alongside a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the home enjoys well-maintained gardens to both the front and rear, a private driveway, and a garage, providing ample space for parking and outdoor enjoyment.

Orchard Drive offers the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. Just a short walk from Durham's bustling City Centre, residents enjoy easy access to a wide range of shopping, dining, and leisure amenities. The nearby River Wear provides picturesque walking routes, ideal for nature lovers and families alike. With excellent transport links via the A690 and swift access to the A1(M) at Carrville, commuting to surrounding areas is both simple and efficient.

This is far more than just a house — it's a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle in a location that continues to attract attention from discerning buyers across the city.
