About
Keyhole Residential are delighted to welcome to the rental market this outstanding three bedroom semi-detached home situated in the sought after location of Bellevue Court, Claypath, Durham.
Nestled within a tranquil courtyard just off Claypath and within walking distance to Durham City Centre, this refined home provides a peaceful retreat from the city’s energy while remaining centrally located.
Set among neighbouring properties, it benefits from both privacy and quiet surroundings, along with the added convenience of a driveway offering parking right beside the house.
A striking wooden entrance door leads inside, where the accommodation is arranged over three generous floors, designed with contemporary family living in mind.
The ground floor features a light-filled, open-plan kitchen and living space, perfect for entertaining as well as day-to-day life.
Sliding patio doors open onto a private, neatly maintained rear garden, screened by a tall hedge for added seclusion.
This level also includes a stylish shower room, complete with a walk-in shower, WC, basin, underfloor heating, and elegant marble-effect finishes.
Cleverly concealed cupboards provide space for laundry appliances such as a washing machine and tumble dryer.
A versatile room on this floor can serve as a bedroom, home office, or nursery, comfortably accommodating either a single or double bed.
On the first floor, the rear-facing primary bedroom offers ample space for a king-size bed and boasts impressive city skyline views through a distinctive bay-style window.
Soft carpeting and tasteful curtains add to the room’s calm, inviting feel.
To the front, a smaller bedroom has been reimagined as a sophisticated dressing room, fitted with bespoke rose gold and white wardrobes alongside a chic corner dressing table.
A second contemporary shower room can also be found on this level, finished with marble-style panels and a spacious walk-in shower.
The top floor reveals the property’s most spectacular space—a stunning second lounge or potential bedroom with breathtaking views of Durham Castle and Cathedral, some of the finest vistas in the city.
Adjoining this area is a standout bathroom featuring striking charcoal grey tiling, underfloor heating, and high-end rose gold fittings.
Soundproofing throughout the home further enhances the sense of comfort, tranquillity, and understated luxury. Viewing is highly advised on this beautiful property!
