A modern, 5-bed semi-detached home, located within Belmont at the entrance to a tranquil cul-de-sac. The house is a 30-minute walk to Durham city center with a supermarket and other amenities nearby. Our place is your perfect stay: beautiful walks are a stone's throw away, the comfy beds are sure to please, while the house also benefits from a cozy sitting area and a bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath. There is also ample off-street parking.
Hi, prospective guests! I am a Geordie living in Durham. I love to meet new people. As I use Booking for travel, I know that from a guest's point of view, there is nothing better than being somewhere that feels like a home from home, and that is what I offer. I work from home most of the week, so I am usually available to assist with any queries. Be it advice on local attractions, where to go for a meal, to a drink on an evening. I look forward to welcoming you into my home. All the best, Adam
Belmont is a lovely, quiet suburb of Durham, still within the DH1 postcode. About a 3-minute walk, there is a local pub and steak house. Local shops and amenities are within the center of the estate: a delightful cafe, a small supermarket, and takeaways.
