Quarryheads Lane, Durham, DH1

Rarely available and offered to the market with no forward chain and vacant possession, this distinguished semi-detached residence enjoys an enviable City Centre setting with views towards the Cathedral and mature woodland.

Constructed by the current owner’s family, the property combines generous proportions, timeless character, and beautifully maintained gardens, all within a short walk of the City Centre.

Approached via a gated block-paved driveway and framed by an established front garden, the home opens into an impressive and welcoming entrance hallway.

The multi-tiered rear garden includes a summer house and an additional garden area leased from the Dean and Chapter, further enhancing the outdoor space and the exceptional setting.

To the front, the gated driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a single garage with an electric up-and-over door.
