The Talbot Penthouse

The Space
Full of light thanks to a profusion of dormer windows and skylights, The Talbot Penthouse has stunning interiors. This spacious and airy apartment (the ceilings were raised to create additional height) also provides stunning views of the Cathedral.

The spectacular two-bedroom conversion is accessed via its own staircase leading from the second floor landing. With a vast master bedroom – with an en-suite bathroom, a state-of-the-art kitchen and a kitchen living room - this is luxurious living at its most modern. Here, roof lights, chrome fittings and granite worktops combine to create a Manhattan-style loft space in a Downton Abbey-style setting.

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.
