From the owner

Kingsgate Bridge View is a peaceful and picturesque 5-star apartment awaiting you on the banks of the River Wear next to Kingsgate Bridge in Durham City Centre. Stroll down to the river, explore the beautiful city, enjoying the abundance of attractions consisting of a variety of bars, pubs, restaurants and shops.

This luxury apartment is a newly converted historic building located in the heart of Durham City featuring French doors opening onto a large deck overlooking the river Wear and famous Elvet Bridge. With so many local attractions dominating tourism, this one level apartment offers an atmosphere of serenity where you can even spend an afternoon curled up with a good book in the cosy lounge enjoying the view from the deck whilst you sip your tea (or perhaps wine) contemplating where to venture next. Durham City offers a wide range of activities for those who are looking to enrich their cultural knowledge or indulge in relaxation.

The ground floor has a fully secured door with a remote electronic lock. An internal hallway leads to a secure underground car park with an allocated parking bay for cars and bikes, accessible via a lift or stairs. The main living area consists of a lounge and dining table complete with LCD TV and WiFi (16mb) internet access.
