Durham is a UNESCO World Heritage City centred on its spectacular Norman cathedral and castle perched above the River Wear. Home to Durham University, one of the UK's top-ranked institutions, the city has a strong student economy and professional services base. The compact centre and heritage constraints create limited but highly valued commercial space.
“UNESCO World Heritage city with cathedral and castle. Russell Group university. Premium property values.”
