Tucked away in a peaceful courtyard just off Claypath, this elegant residence offers a calm escape from the city's bustle while remaining in the heart. Surrounded by neighbouring homes, it enjoys privacy and quiet, with the added benefit of a driveway providing convenient parking directly beside the property. A grand wooden door welcomes you inside, where the home unfolds across three spacious levels, thoughtfully arranged for modern family life.
The ground floor has a bright, open-plan kitchen & living area, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. Sliding patio doors lead to a private, well-kept rear garden with tall hedge providing natural seclusion. A beautifully designed shower room is also found on this level, complete with a walk-in shower, WC, basin, underfloor heating, and sleek marble-style finishes. Hidden cupboards discreetly house laundry facilities including space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A versatile bedroom on this floor can comfortably fit a double or single bed or serve as a home office or nursery.
On the middle floor, the rear-facing king-size bedroom is a highlight, offering sweeping views of the city skyline through a distinctive bay-style window. Plush carpeting and elegant curtains enhance the room’s serene atmosphere. At the front, a smaller bedroom has been transformed into a chic dressing room, fitted with custom rose gold and white wardrobes and a stylish corner dressing table. A second luxurious shower room is also on this floor, finished with contemporary marble-style cladding and a generous walk-in shower.
The top floor presents the most impressive space in the home—a striking second lounge or bedroom that showcases breath-taking views of Durham Castle and Cathedral, among the finest in the city. Adjoining this room is a standout bathroom, featuring eye-catching charcoal grey tiles, underfloor heating, and premium rose gold fixtures. Soundproofing throughout adds to the home’s comfort and quiet luxury.
