Offering considerable charm and character we have pleasure in offering for sale this three storey mid terraced Town House which is understood to date back to the 1700's.

The property, which is a Grade II listed building, retains many of its original features and occupies a superb position in what is widely recognised as one of Durham City's most fashionable streets. It has outstanding views of the Castle and Cathedral, a World Heritage site, as well as the City landscape from the first and second floors. It provides accommodation which briefly comprises: entrance lobby, entrance hall and to the rear of the property there is a dining room, along with a superb refitted kitchen, light and airy breakfast room with conservatory style roof along with French doors and glazed side panels leading out to the rear garden and a cloakroom/wc. In addition on the ground floor, to the front of the property, is a family room. On the first floor the drawing room is to the front of the property with superb Cathedral views, along with a study/bedroom, bathroom/wc and a separate wc on the half landing. On the top floor the main bedroom has an extensive range of built in wardrobes and again being to the front of the property has Cathedral and Castle views. There are two additional bedrooms, one to the front with views and the other to the rear with views over the rear garden. There is a pleasant and secluded good sized garden area to the rear with lawns, borders, plants and shrubs, along with two patio areas. The gate in the back wall of the garden gives access out to a woodland area ideal for dog walking and an escape into nature.

South Street occupies a commanding position high up on the banks of the River Wear opposite the Castle and Cathedral. It is within walking distance of the immediate City Centre with its many shopping and recreational facilities to hand and is one of the most popular and sought after streets in the City Centre. It is renowned for its stunning views, with this particular property having arguably one of the best outlooks due to its situation within the street.

This is indeed a rare opportunity to acquire such a spacious individual home in a most desirable location and we would strongly recommend an internal inspection.

Agents Note: there are possible flying freeholds given the age and nature of the property.
