Durham, DH1 1XH

Occupying a highly desirable position at the head of a peaceful cul-de-sac, this attractive modern brick-built link-detached home offers spacious and versatile family accommodation within easy walking distance of Durham City Centre and the Market Place. Originally designed as a four-bedroom home and currently arranged as a generous three-bedroom property, the house offers excellent flexibility for growing families, with the potential to reinstate the fourth bedroom if required. The standout principal bedroom is particularly impressive, featuring ample space and a private en-suite shower room. The ground floor briefly comprises a welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom/WC, a bright and spacious lounge with a square bay window and feature fireplace, a separate dining room with French doors opening into the garden room, and a well-appointed fitted kitchen complete with integrated appliances and electric hob. An internal door provides convenient access to the double garage. To the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including the superb main bedroom with en-suite, along with a modern family shower room/WC. Externally, the property enjoys a private rear aspect backing onto Vane Tempest Bowling Green, with a low-maintenance rear garden, patio, and seating area—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. To the front, there is a double garage with remote-control door and additional driveway parking. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious home in a quiet yet highly convenient city location. St Giles Close is situated within a small and exclusive development of houses and apartments just off the charming “village green” area of Gilesgate, formerly known locally as the Duck Pond, and lies within a designated conservation area. The location is particularly sought after due to its combination of peace and convenience, being only a short walk from Durham’s historic city centre, where a wide range of shopping, restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities, and cultural attractions can be found. Everyday amenities including local shops, supermarkets, schools, and healthcare services are also readily available within Gilesgate itself. For commuters, the property is exceptionally well placed, with excellent access to the A690 connecting Durham to Sunderland, and onward links to the A1(M) at Carrville, providing straightforward travel throughout the North East and beyond.
