This small development is situated in an ideal location, within walking distance of all of the town's amenities, whilst being set back from the main road and enjoying open views across Red Rose School's playing fields towards Lumley Castle and the Emirates First Class County Ground. The patio garden to the rear is therefore very appealing, and the flat also has a parking space immediately to the front. Situated on the end of this small row of apartments, this particular flat has the benefit of side access plus a window to the bathroom on the side of the building. The layout includes a hall that accesses the kitchen at the front. The living room/dining room at the rear extends to over 17ft, with patio doors opening to the patio garden. The main bedroom is also situated at the rear and there is a good size second bedroom at the front. The contemporary refitted shower room includes a large walk-in shower enclosure and a white suite. The property includes gas central heating via radiators with a combination boiler and uPVC double glazing. In our opinion, town centre apartments don't come much better than this in terms of outlook and location, so early viewing is highly recommended. The apartment has a 999-year lease term and is available with no onward chain.

Situated just behind Durham Road, York Court lies on the southern fringe of the town centre in a very sought-after part of town. The location makes the property an ideal commuter base via the A1(M) interchange, which is only a few minute's drive away. Chester le Street town centre boasts a wide range of shops, schools and amenities and York Terrace is also ideally located for easy access to nearby Riverside Park. The nearby railway station is on the main East Coast line, allowing easy commuting and rapid access to Durham City and Newcastle upon Tyne.

Flood Risk
Surface Water
Very Low
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
