2 bed terraced house for sale

Officials Terrace, Lanchester, Durham DH7

An immaculately presented two bedroom mid terrace house providing bright and spacious accommodation, set in a highly popular area in the picturesque rural village of Malton set beside Malton Nature Reserve and surrounded by beautiful open countryside. The property was originally a pit-village terrace and has been well-maintained and improved to an exceptionally high standard, including a new roof in April 2026 and many modern fittings, whilst retaining some character features such as wood flooring, a feature fireplace and high ceilings.

Deceptively spacious and full of character, the accommodation comprises a well-appointed kitchen, dining room and welcoming lounge with a multi-fuel burner and French doors opening onto the front garden, and a useful rear hallway/cloakroom and ground-floor WC complete the downstairs space. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, with newly fitted wardrobes to the principal bedroom, together with a stylish family four-piece bathroom featuring a freestanding roll-top bath and separate shower.

Externally, there is a private front lawned garden with a storage shed and a variety of established beds and trees, a rear yard with a useful store room, and parking along the private road serving the terrace. The street also benefits from a friendly but unobtrusive community, with a residents’ WhatsApp group and occasional social gatherings, offering the opportunity to get to know neighbours while retaining the peace and privacy of this rural setting.

Malton is a popular rural village within easy reach of Durham, while the nearby village of Lanchester provides an excellent range of everyday amenities including shops, restaurants, schools, healthcare and leisure facilities. The area is rich in wildlife, with woodpeckers, nuthatches, newts and even the occasional kestrel among the visitors. The nearby former railway line has also been transformed into a cycle route connecting towards Durham, Consett and the beautiful Durham Dales, with routes continuing towards the coast or into the spectacular open countryside of the Durham Dales.
