Substantial detached house. Framed by a garden and tall limestone walls up to 3m high. Two storeys, with dormers, stucco walls, slate and pantile roofs. Several alterations detract from the original character - flat-roofed dormers, prominent windows, false shutters and flat-roofed conservatory.

The only building on the village green. Cross House was built in 1810 and has been an inn, post office and shop. It has rubble sandstone walls and pantile roof. Re-modelled in the 1960s including horizontal window openings and box dormers.

A picturesque space reminiscent of many other village greens in more rural parts of County Durham. Medieval in origin, the green is registered as common land. It is intersected by tarmac footpaths with granite kerb edges and dotted with mature trees planted around 1900.

Established in the 1950s on open land known as Church Fields. Named after a local councillor. It has an attractive formal air with neat flower beds, planters, ornamental tree planting, undulating grass (remnants of ridge and furrow earthworks) and meandering tarmac footpaths. A children's play area, bowling green, tennis court, timber and cast iron benches. The west boundary is a dry stone wall and green railings. The south and east boundaries are a mix of fencing, railings and mature trees.

An intriguing rectangular pen bounded by high limestone boundary walls with a filled-in carriage arch.

In 1862 Whitburn Cricket Club was established on land formerly part of Whitburn Hall's grounds.The club went on to be one of the founders of the Durham County Senior League in 1902. The limestone wall on the east boundary rises from 2m to almost 4m in height. Previously ridge and furrow fields, the land was given by Sir Hedworth Williamson, then captain of the club. The ground is bounded by sycamore trees along the east, west and south sides. The present pavilion was designed by William Kirtley of SW Milburn & Partners of Sunderland. It was opened in 1961-62 during the centenary of the club. Whitburn is Tyne and Wear's third oldest sports ground (after Whickham and Percy Main cricket clubs).

Forms part of a gently curving group with Nos. 44-48, unified by small gardens and a low rubble boundary wall with chamfered ashlar coping. A mix of Georgian features (flat fronts, small-paned sash windows, central six panel doors, rectangular fanlights) and more rural vernacular characteristics (roughcast render, pantiled roofs, sturdy chimneys). The rear farmyard and traditional whitewashed farm buildings have considerable rustic charm.

There is a nice limestone wall enclosing the villa and skirting the south edge of the village green. The large villa was built in 2001 in an Arts & Crafts theme with red clay plain tile roof and good façade detailing. The arch is from the former carriage drive.

Roughcast white painted render. Restrained Georgian proportions. Built in the orchard of Whitburn Hall.

In 1822 in a period of exceptionally low tides, the remains of an ancient forest were uncovered in Whitburn Bay. English Heritage's Intertidal and Coastal Peat Database - submerged peat and forest deposit extending for 2/3 of a mile (c. 0.5km). In places it's over 6' (1.83m) thick. Contains fragments of birch bark, hazel nuts and charcoal. Also contains red deer antler. Observed at low tide. Only exceptionally seen. Referred to in Trechmann 1832 and Woolacott 1897
