Elegant Victorian Residence in the Heart of Whitburn’s Conservation Area – Rich in Character, Space and Heritage

Nestled within the idyllic surroundings of The Limes, Whitburn, this distinguished Grade II Listed Victorian home blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Thought to have been built in 1869 for Sir John Fenwick, this handsome residence—once a single grand dwelling—has been thoughtfully divided into three individual homes, retaining an abundance of original period features and architectural charm.

Inside the Home

Step through the entrance vestibule into a grand hallway with a sweeping galley staircase with beautiful stained glass window, archways and downstairs cloakroom/WC. The hallway provided access to the formal living room, a generous space which enjoys garden views via a charming walk-in bay window. There is a second reception room showcasing period detailing and French doors that lead to the sun-drenched orangery. To the rear, the country-style kitchen features a large picture window, ample storage, and flows effortlessly to a recently updated sun room, complete with bi-folding doors opening to the tranquil rear terrace.

Upstairs, discover four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite boasts a south-facing bay window, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the room, this is the perfect space to read a book with a cup of coffee and you can even catch a glimpse of the sea! The master bedroom also comes with fitted wardrobes, and a stylish ensuite shower room. The second bedroom is an equally impress size and the remaining bedrooms are perfect for family living, guest space or home working, served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally electric double gates provide access to both the front and rear, creating privacy and secure off street parking. The mature gardens offer a peaceful retreat, with neatly kept lawns, stone pathways, floral borders, and hedged privacy. An added gem is the presence of a Grade II listed Ice House, a rare historic feature tying the home to its Victorian legacy.

The substantial detached garage is accessed via an automated up and over door and provides a through-access via a single automated door to the rear leading out to North Guards. The garage also benefits from additional storage and holds excellent potential for a separate studio or annex (subject to necessary consents).
