A new development of apartments in Durham has hit the market, promising stunning views of the city’s historic skyline and top-notch finishes.

The Gardens development at Milburngate on the banks of the River Wear in Durham’s Northern Quarter hosts a mix of studios and apartments.

The apartments can come fully furnished and are kitted out to the highest spec, and will be ready to move in from January 2023.

Residents will also get WiFi included, and access to rooftop terraces and communal gardens.

However the new city centre apartments don’t come cheap, with rents starting at a whopping £1180pcm for a studio and £2300pcm for a three-bed apartment.

It’s part of the major Milburngate development which will also include a new Everyman cinema, set to open this winter.

Speaking on the new residential scheme, Colleen McCaughey, Community Manager at The Gardens said: “The Gardens reflects a new vision of rental living where residents can truly live amongst it all.
