Elvet Waterside is a prime student rental property in Durham, superbly located on the banks of the River Wear. The riverside setting offers an attractive and peaceful living environment while still providing convenient access to Durham’s university areas and city-centre amenities. The property is available from January 2026 at £285 per room per week, exclusive of bills. Due to licensing restrictions, the property can only be let to two students, as it does not hold an HMO licence, so it is particularly suitable for a smaller student household seeking a spacious riverside home.
The accommodation is a rare three-storey townhouse with an integral garage and a well-arranged internal layout. The ground floor includes an entrance hallway, communal lounge area, cloakroom/WC and a useful utility room with an automatic washing machine. The first floor provides access to a fully equipped kitchen and two double bedrooms, while the second floor includes a landing with three storage cupboards, a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom and a communal bathroom. A further double bedroom is located on the third floor, offering generous space across multiple levels.
Residents benefit from a practical and well-equipped home designed for comfortable student living. The property includes softwood double-glazed windows throughout, gas central heating with radiators in all rooms, useful storage space and an integral garage. The EPC rating is C, indicating a reasonable level of energy efficiency. Please note that bills are not included in the rent, and standard tenancy costs may apply, including a refundable holding deposit of up to one week’s rent and a refundable tenancy deposit of up to five weeks’ rent. Overall, Elvet Waterside is a strong option for two students looking for a spacious, well-located riverside property in Durham.
