As textile artist I own a collection of vintage sewing machines. The house is quiet and suitable for professionals, postgraduates and studious undergraduates. I am looking for clean, quiet and (a must) non-smoking individuals.
There is a sizeable garden with small trees and a vegetable plot where I grow my own vegetables.

The house is situated in a little cul-de-sac in the lovely village of Ushaw Moor, 15 minutes bus ride to Durham bus station (43 and 48 buses). For university students and staff the daily unlimited ticket costs £1 a day.
By car, the city centre and the Science Site (Main University Campus) are 8-10 minutes drive. Parking at the house is nearby.

The village is self sufficient. It has the COOP supermarket - 5 minutes walk - that is open 7am-10pm every day, seven days a week.
Take aways (pizzas/kebab, fish and chips, Chinese and Indian), a convenience store, the Post Office, a pharmacy, two hair dressers, a beautician and florist are all within walking distance from the house.

Two National Cycle Routes (14 and 70) are a few minutes away, with woodland tracks for walkers, runners and wild mushroom foragers (like myself). There are a couples of rivers and streams -the Deerness and the Browney. In front of the house there is an allotment site with hens, cockerels and a goat. It is indeed a rural location, yet the lively Newcastle upon Tyne with its busy nightlife is only 30 minutes drive away (20 minutes by train).
