Description
City-centre living with space, flexibility and a green outlook
A substantial and much-loved five-bedroom family home offering approximately 2,443 sq ft (227 sq m) of unusually spacious and flexible accommodation, together with three reception rooms, a mature garden and attractive open views.
Situated on Kepier Terrace, just off Claypath, the property is within just a few minutes walking distance of Durham City Centre, the Market Place, university and college buildings, shops and everyday amenities. Despite its central location, the house enjoys a surprisingly peaceful setting, with a pleasant green outlook and countryside views to the rear.
The accommodation is particularly adaptable and would suit a large family, multi-generational living, guests, working from home or those simply wanting generous space for family and friends.
Ground floor
The main living accommodation has impressive proportions and high ceilings.
The welcoming lounge has a feature fireplace and doors opening onto the rear garden. A separate dining room provides an excellent space for family meals and entertaining, with bi-fold doors opening into a bright garden room.
The spacious country-style kitchen/breakfast room provides a practical and sociable heart to the house, with adjoining utility facilities.
Also on the ground floor are the property's particularly useful additional rooms. These include a bed sitting room, its own kitchen, shower room and courtyard, providing genuine independence from the main living accommodation.
This space has previously been successfully let at approximately £600 per calendar month, but its flexibility may be even more valuable to a purchaser. It could provide accommodation for an adult child or relative, a guest suite, a home office or studio, or simply additional living space.
First floor
The first floor provides five well-proportioned bedrooms, with generous storage.
The principal bedroom benefits from an attached dressing room, while two family bathrooms provide useful facilities for a large household.
Outside
To the rear is a mature and attractive garden with lawn, established planting, a small pond and patio areas.
The garden benefits from pleasant open and countryside views, creating an unusual feeling of space and tranquillity for a property so close to the centre of Durham. The garden enjoys sunshine through much of the day and provides an excellent setting for relaxation, family life and entertaining.
A single integral garage provides useful storage and off-street parking, with further on-street parking available subject to the relevant permit arrangements.
Location
Kepier Terrace is situated just off Claypath, with its pleasant green space and children's play area.
The property is within easy walking distance of Durham City Centre and the Market Place, together with shops, restaurants, schools, university and college buildings and other amenities.
The location also provides convenient access to the A690 and A1(M), making the property well placed for commuting while retaining the advantages of central Durham living.
In summary
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial 2,443 sq ft / 227 sq m family home in central Durham, combining generous accommodation with genuine flexibility and an attractive garden and outlook.
Its unusual combination of five bedrooms, three reception rooms, self-contained one-bedroom accommodation and a central yet surprisingly green setting makes it a home that can adapt readily to different stages of family life.
