Attractive garage block, probably orginally an outhouse to Elmfield or West House. It has a fish-scale roof, simple brown timber garage doors and mottled brickwork.

Late Victorian or Edwardian terrace of three red brick two storey houses with slate pitched roofs. No. 3 is shallower than the others to fit the site and so is double-fronted to compensate. The short terrace is reminiscent of late 19th century workers' terraces in other villages across the Durham coalfield. Windows and doors are a miss-match of timber and uPVC. Some stone detailing is painted, some stone mullions have been removed, railings and gates have been replaced and one roof is modern man-made slate. But all shaped brick chimneys are in place.

Large house now subdivided into two dwellings. Set back from the street and facing east. Rendered in concrete. Modern windows set flush with the façade.

A simple double-fronted house with stone front, brick rear and a re-laid slate roof with prominent plastic vent tiles. The plastic gutters and uPVC windows with modern openings spoil the historic character, especially the full width porch and bay windows. The rear offshots and outhouses have flat or shallow-pitched roofs and plastic windows.

A small late Victorian or Edwardian house in warm red brick below a roughcast render first floor. Typical of the period, its high quality design has a stepped footprint with a side porch, original front door and a sandstone bay window with a brick arched lintel to the first floor window above. The roof is enlivened by chimneys, carved bargeboards and timber finials. The low red brick boundary wall does not reflect those around but the moulded gates and gateposts are original. The uPVC windows detract from the composition.

Behind The Bungalow (HER 8500), Ormond Villa (HER 8539) and the Lord Nelson (HER 8536) is an area of 20th century backland development, accessed from the north footpath (HER 8499). This area includes a dwelling house converted from a former sub station and a number of outbuildings, set in secluded gardens behind tall brick walls, fences and evergreen hedges, creating a suitably low density but essentially neutral area of backland.

Two small buildings and two ponds are shown on the Whitburn tithe plan of 1839. The buildings are also shown on John Bell's Plan of part of the Tyne and Wear coal districts 1843.

Brick Garth Cottage is shown on the OS first edition of 1862 along with a large pond. P.J. Davison lists this as site 29 in his 'Brickworks of the North East' book.

The cottage has gone by the OS second edition of 1899.

By the 1950s the site was used as playing fields and tennis courts and a pavilion has been built. The pavilion has now gone.

19th century public house with shaped gables.
