Description

Beautifully Presented Four-Bedroom Luxury Apartment

Just a short downhill stroll from Durham's historic Market Place, this beautifully appointed four-bedroom luxury apartment offers spacious, elegant living with the rare advantage of both a garage and parking—an exceptional opportunity for those seeking the convenience and vibrancy of city centre living.

Located on the first floor, the property features stylish and well presented accommodation throughout. A private entrance lobby leads into a generous reception hallway, complete with built in storage cupboards and a useful utility room/cloakroom/WC. Striking engineered oak flooring flows through much of the apartment, enhancing the sense of space and quality.

The impressive lounge dining room room features a charming bay window and provides access to a modern fitted kitchen equipped with integrated appliances including oven, hob, and extractor. The master bedroom also benefits from a bay window offering partial views towards St. Giles Church, as well as ample built in storage. Three further double bedrooms provide superb flexibility for family living, guests, or home working, with the second bedroom featuring additional fitted wardrobes. A contemporary family bathroom completes the accommodation, offering both a bathtub and a separate shower enclosure.

Externally, the property enjoys access to a rear courtyard, reached via a gated archway, which includes communal gardens, a private parking bay, and a single garage—an exceptional advantage in such a central location.

The building is owned on a freehold basis by the three apartments within it, and the purchaser will acquire a share of the freehold on completion. This arrangement allows for lower than average management fees and ground rent. The property benefits from gas central heating via a combi boiler (Hive Thermostat controlled) and double glazing (with noise reducing secondary glazing to all bedrooms). The management/service charge is currently £92 per month. Offered for sale with no onward chain, the property is ready for immediate occupation.  

Durham is a city renowned for its cultural heritage and striking architecture, dominated by the spectacular Norman Castle and Cathedral. Approximately 18 miles south of Newcastle upon Tyne, the city is well connected via the A1(M) and A167. Its charming cobbled streets host an excellent selection of independent and regional retailers alongside a variety of well regarded restaurants and bars. The River Wear weaves around the Castle and Cathedral, creating a stunning backdrop and offering scenic riverside walks and boating. Durham is also celebrated for its outstanding educational provision, including excellent state and independent schools and the world famous Durham University.

The management company maintains CCTC to the car park and rear of the property providing that extra peace of mind.
