Modernised early C20 villa in a large garden.

A early C20 travellers inn. Abundant joinery detailing, shaped dormers and original slate roof.

At the centre of the terrace is a pair of Victorian houses in local stone faced with red brick. They have attractive margined sashes (well-designed double-glazed replacements) and simple classical door surrounds (No. 7 is a replica). One chimney has been shortened. No. 5, a shorter 1950s house (known as the doll's house) is a simple unassuming infill development.

An interesting pair of semi-detached bungalows built by the owner of Boldon Brick Co. Good examples of well-detailed brick cottages from first half of C20. Enlivened with Dutch gables, and an unusual green glazed pantile roof. Both have similarly detailed and eye-catching outhouses. The long garden to No.2 has been developed with a modern infill bungalow.

Built in the 1950s.

Dates from the early C20. Includes a double-fronted red brick farm house and farm buildings with green painted joinery.

Designated in 1975. The Conservation Area is based on West Boldon medieval village (HER 954) and comprises of an isolated, introspective cluster of historic and modern houses in a traditional village setting, shrouded in mature trees. The village is dominated by St. Nicholas Church (HER 956). During the last half of the C19 with the opening of Downhill Quarry and Boldon Colliery, the medieval rural origins of West Boldon began to change. Buildings were built on the green and terraces of cottages for miners built along Newcastle Road. Many early houses on Gateshead Terrace, Redcar Terrace and Rectory Bank were cleared and the sites grassed over in C20. After WW2 there was a comprehensive redevelopment plan to demolish almost everything in the village, except the church and public houses, to construct a brand new village centre. The only part of this scheme which was built was St. Nicholas View. Individual gap sites were infilled with Ashby Villas and Glebe Farm Cottages, Wayside Cottage, Hill View and The Bungalow. These dwellings have weakened the appearance of the neighbouring Ascot Court, West Boldon Hall and Mansion House. Few development opportunities are now available. There is green Belt to the south, and a grassy hillside to the north which needs protecting. Early buildings in West Boldon are built of local magnesian limestone rubble (Mansion House, Hill Top House, Hall Green Farm, 1-5 The Folly). This stone is used extensively for boundary walls. Mid to late C19 buildings are in warm red brick. Early roofs are in hand-made clay pantiles (Hall Green Farm and 1-5 The Folly). West Boldon Hall, 19-25 Rectory Bank and the Red Lion use Welsh slate. In the last 40 years, materials such as grey brick, smooth bright red brick, orange brick and concrete tiles and diluted character. Rendering and painting of the Wheatsheaf Public House has also altered character.

Two terraces of Sunderland cottages. Only example of this type of housing in Newcastle. Single storey, brick built with a slate roof with decorative ridge tiles. Some of the cottages are painted. They have polygonal bay windows. They have not been extended upwards through the addition of box dormers which would detract from their simplicity. A few properties have uPVC glazing. Short front gardens are bounded by low brick walls.

Lodge to Moorlands Hall. Shown on OS second edition map. Single storey stone building. Substantially unaltered.

Shown on OS Second edition map of 1898. Site occupied by flats now.
