The area

Whitburn is a mile from the northern outskirts of Sunderland and one of the most attractive tree-lined villages in the North East.

The old part of Whitburn village around Front Street is picture postcard from most viewpoints with fine houses of the Georgian and Victorian eras. Notable houses include Whitburn House, The Lodge, The Limes and Thorncliffe which once had its own observatory.

Then there is the handsome Tudoresque Victorian brick extravaganza near the church called Red Cottage dating from 1843, designed by Benjamin Green whose other work includes Penshaw Monument, Grey’s Monument and Newcastle Theatre Royal.

Whitburn’s tree-lined charms are made all the more endearing by its coastal location overlooking Souter Point. With Whitburn Beach, Marsden Rocks and Souter lighthouse close by, the area is steeped in legend and history.

Closer to Whitburn and overlooking the sea is Whitburn windmill complete with its sails. It was built of stone in 1796 after a previous mill was destroyed in a storm.

The nearest train station to Whitburn is located in Sunderland where there are regular routes to Newcastle, Hexham, Middlesbrough and London.

In terms of bus routes in Whitburn, services can be found operating to Sunderland and South Shields.

The closest airport is Newcastle International, 19 miles away from Whitburn.

“Beautiful house with a sea view, loved watching the sun rise each morning from the lounge. Spotlessly clean with plenty of room, no clutter, classy furnishings and the bathrooms are stunning. The home owner Ian was very helpful and responsive, the managing agent (when we had a couple of issues) could have done better.”

“Great stay with everything you would need. Tastefully decorated. Beds very comfortable and ensuite with underfloor heating was welcome. Outside space was good for the dog and I would imagine it would be good in the summer. All in all a very pleasant stay. Would definitely stay here again.”
