Externally, there is a small forecourt garden to the front, an enclosed courtyard garden to the rear, plus a garage and off-street parking. Additionally, the property is gas centrally heated and double-glazed.
The Sidings is a popular development of houses and apartments situated on the immediate outskirts of Durham City Centre, offering a comprehensive range of shopping and recreational facilities and amenities.
