Low Fell is home to numerous buildings listed by English Heritage.

Underhill, at 99 Kells Lane, is a Grade II* listed building.
It was the home of Sir Joseph Wilson Swan between 1869–1883 and was the site of many pioneering experiments in photographic processing and in electricity.
Described as "a large, unlovely polychrome villa", Underhill is triple gabled, and built of roughly dressed sandstone, and was the first private residence in the world to be lit by electric light.
 It later became a school, and is now retirement sheltered housing.

231 Kells Lane is the location of Home House.
This fine early 19th century, symmetrical, ashlar and sandstone property was the family home of the Dodds sisters, and is also a Grade II listed building.
 At the southern edge of Durham Road is Carter's Well, the first of the notable buildings and items of interest on that road.
 516 Durham Road houses "a stone building with a domestic air".
This Grade II listed building was the literary room built by local subscription at the instigation of Thomas Wilson in 1841.
 Designed by Thomas Oliver, the building was used as a bank but is now derelict.
 Immediately adjacent to the Literary Rooms is a Grade II listed South African War memorial, dated 1903, and signed 'Morrison'.
 Located close to the main shopping centre on Durham Road lies Whinney House, a large villa built in 1865 by local resident Edward Joicey.
 It is now being converted into luxury flats.
 An impressive hexagonal based, stone fountain which has Grade II listed status is still in evidence.

Travelling further along Durham Road towards Gateshead are two more Grade II listed buildings.
The first is Heathfield House, a two story villa built by John Wardle (designer of St Helen's Church) in 1865 and Musgrave House, an ashlar villa with raised quoins built in 1854–5 which has been used as a school, but is no longer so.
 Both buildings are now converted to private flats.
