Sleeping up to two guests, this stylish apartment is perfect for short breaks or longer stays. Throughout the past 310 years, nestled under the watchful gaze of Durham Cathedral, many esteemed guests (including Her Majesty The Queen) have enjoyed the timeless elegance of 52 Old Elvet and revelled in its unparalleled history. Located on the ground floor, this gorgeous one bedroom apartment has tall ceilings and original features. The Space: The large open plan living, dining and kitchen area has a grand and opulent feel. At one end of the room you’ll find the cosy living space which has an impressive marble fireplace, luxury sofa and flat screen TV.

The Neighborhood: Named as 'One of the Best Cities to Visit' in recent years, Durham is a beautiful and charming area within the North East. Known as the ‘perfect little city’, Durham has the best mix of everything and it all blends seamlessly. It retains its medieval heritage but it also has a modern and vibrant twist. It boasts lush green landscapes but it also has busy cobbled streets with independent shops, bars and restaurants. Durham has plenty of history within its walls. One of the most spectacular historic sites is Durham Cathedral. Constructed between 1903 and 1133, this towering building is a shining example of Norman architecture. The cathedral is now the oldest surviving building with a stone vaulted ceiling of such a large scale. Getting Around: 52 Old Elvet is located in the city centre with cafes, restaurants, shops and bars right on the doorstep. Durham train station is a 15-minute walk from the apartment so nearby towns and cities can easily be reached via rail. There’s also a taxi rank in close proximity to the train station. There are plenty of bus routes throughout Durham. Hop on the Arriva 6 route to visit Barnard Castle or the number 22 which travels through Seaham and Sunderland. Interaction with Guests: We’re always available for our guests so please don’t hesitate to get in touch. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In the city center ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ## Similar properties ![Luxury Apartment, Ensuite | Balcony view](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/29000000/28920000/28919900/28919875/4e0e6da4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Durham Riverside Apartments Durham - Parking included - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Business services 10 Exceptional 12 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=28919875&PinnedHotelID=28919875&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33600000/33594400/33594380/42d9b4c3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Durham, 3 bedroom Cottage in village location near Durham city, pet friendly Sherburn Village - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 36 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=33594380&PinnedHotelID=33594380&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70880000/70870200/70870194/d66abd63.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Durham Terrace Spennymoor - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 6 reviews CA $126 CA $183 total includes taxes & fees Oct 8 - Oct 9 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-08&endDate=2025-10-09&selected=70870194&PinnedHotelID=70870194&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116240000/116230100/116230008/fd9b7033.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Old School House Hotel Bearpark - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews CA $122 CA $152 total includes taxes & fees Sep 30 - Oct 1 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-30&endDate=2025-10-01&selected=116230008&PinnedHotelID=116230008&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115140000/115132600/115132581/04359d30.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy dog friendly shepherds hut near Durham Durham - Pet-friendly [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=115132581&PinnedHotelID=115132581&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109010000/109007200/109007148/31e03828.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### NEW!
