Whickham House is shown on the Ordnance Survey first edition map as a large building with further buildings forming a courtyard to the west and south, and a separate row of six houses to the immediate east. These had been demolished by the time of the second edition map and the site incorporated into the gardens of Whickham House. The name of the house is shown as Whickham Chase on the third edition map. The house was demolished following World War II but the outbuildings were retained.
The stable block, which was located to the southwest of the house, is built of dressed sandstone with sandstone window surrounds to the front, and coursed sandstone rubble to the rear, with a slate roof, and has been subject to vandalism and fire.

Whickham Hall, also known as Whickham Rectory was constructed in the 16th century.The hall was attacked by the Scottish army in 1640 at the time of the battle of Newburn. The hall was a rectory until 1713. In c.1740 the south elevation of the hall was remodelled through the construction of a five bay Georgian stone façade and central door, the constuction of new rooms and an attic for servants. From 1830 Whickham Hall became a private school.The hall is associated with extensive grounds and a stable block. In 1906 the hall was extended and split into two cottages.

Designated on 11th July 1974. The boundary was amended on 5th February 1998. A linear Conservation Area including the historic core of the village (HER 694) and Dunston Hill House (HER 5226). The village grew up on the basis of agriculture and coal mining. In the 18th century after the shallow coal seams had been exhausted, it became a residential area for the wealthier classes. Dunston Hill House was built in 1740. In 1787 Whickham's buildings were described as 'modern and handsome'. Whickham was unaffected by colliery housing until the end of the 19th century when miners terraces began to appear at the western end. Since the First World War Whickham has grown as a commuter settlement, now with a population of nearly 15,000. New buildings have been built on Front Street between Rectory Lane and The Square and Chase Park has been created. The old village core includes the parish church (HER 693), council offices (HER 7479), large houses some now in institutional use, Front Street Primary School and The Rectory (HER 4849). The old buildings are mostly sandstone, either ashlar or coursed squared blocks of rubble. Sandstone is also used for walls and gate piers. Roofs are generally pantiled. Many of the more recent buildings use traditional materials. Inappropriate buildings in the CA include St. Mary's Green, a 1970s-1980s shopping centre, Kwik-Save and the Gibside Arms. On the south side of Church Chare there is a simple row of brick cottages. School Lane and Church Chare have a succession of stone frontages. The former grounds of Whickham Park and Dockendale Hall have been built over but the narrow lanes with mature trees, hedges, old walls, gate posts and ancillary buildings and cottages which are of interest. Chase Park is a large recreation ground. Opposite the top of Dunston Bank is a row of individually designed 1920s bungalows.
