The property has large bedrooms

Front Street, Whitburn, Sunderland

2 The Limes, set back from Front Street in Whitburn in a site of approximately 0.4 of an acre, is a magnificent Grade II Listed period family home built circa 1870. The character property is built in stone under a Western Slate roof and was purchased by the current owners circa 2007. The house is a beautiful example of a fine Victorian property, which was originally one detached dwelling and was subdivided some decades ago into three individual houses. The house has the benefit of a stone-built, double-storey former coach house leading adjacent to the rear of the boundary and the nearby Methodist church. This stone-built former coach house is now a double garage providing good on-site parking and access at the rear into a hardstanding area.Peter Heron, 0191 5103323£895,000View the full listing here
