There is also scope to develop the loft, as neighbouring properties have done, to create additional living space.
Local Information
6 West Terrace is positioned in the northwest area of the vibrant and historic university city of Durham. Winding cobbled streets lead from the loop of the River Wear up to the dramatic Durham Cathedral and Castle World Heritage Site, providing one of the most stunning city panoramas in Europe. The city offers peaceful riverside walks and the chance to relax in one of the many cafés, restaurants, artisan workshops, boutiques, galleries and museums. Cultural and entertainment venues include the successful Gala Theatre and The Assembly Rooms Theatre, as well as the Palace Green Library.
The extraordinary Romanesque Durham Cathedral dominates the skyline with the Norman Durham Castle facing it across the Palace Green. To the north of the castle is the 13th century medieval Crook Hall. South of the river, Durham University offers a Botanic Garden with woodland and tropical plants, and the Oriental Museum exhibiting Asian, Egyptian and Middle Eastern artefacts.
The picturesque Durham Heritage Coast is only a short drive away offering stunning walks with wild cliffs, dunes and views out across the North Sea. To the west lies the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and all the outdoor opportunities it has to offer.
The thriving city of Newcastle is within easy reach and offers a further range of cultural, educational, professional, recreational and shopping facilities. For the commuter, the A1 provides good access to Darlington, Gateshead, Newcastle City Centre and Newcastle International Airport. Durham Tees Valley Airport is also within easy reach.
