Welcome to The Town House Durham
Step inside one of Durham’s most iconic Georgian residences – a Grade II-listed townhouse where history, charm, and modern luxury come together. Once known as The Town House Durham, our boutique property was beloved for its individually designed rooms, romantic getaways, and indulgent afternoon teas. Nestled in the heart of Durham city centre, the Town House stood as a symbol of elegance, offering guests unforgettable moments from spa-style escapes to candlelit dining.
While times have changed, our legacy remains. Today, this website continues to celebrate the spirit of townhouse living – from Durham’s historic landmarks to the evolving story of townhouses across the world.

Durham at Your Doorstep
Our location placed us in the heart of Durham, just steps from the city’s most iconic attractions. The majestic Durham Cathedral, the historic castle, the winding River Wear, and charming cobbled streets all made The Town House a perfect base for discovery.
Durham’s story is also the story of townhouses – heritage buildings that remain timeless. Whether in the UK or abroad, townhouse living connects people to community, culture, and comfort.
Special Occasions, Lasting Memories
The Town House was a backdrop for weddings, proposals, and once-in-a-lifetime events. Couples toasted milestones in romantic rooms with spa baths, families gathered for intimate dinners, and friends celebrated with signature cocktails and live music.
