Amid the more standard brick fare, this road has three more modern houses, one of which can be seen on the left. They are known as 'Sunspan' houses which seen from the air are diamond-shaped, or like a square rotated by 45 degrees, resulting in two facades getting the sun. They were designed by Wells Coates and G. Pleydell Bouverie.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The story of most C20th British housing is dreary pastiche, but there are isolated examples of more forward-looking building. Miramonte was designed in 1936-37 by Maxwell Fry, a leading exponent of Modernism. As usual, white exterior, and a variety of different sized and shaped masses and types of window. Grade II listed. Perhaps not to everyone's taste, but it makes a change from leaded windows, fake beams and ill-proportioned porticos.

Dist:0.8km<br/>One of three houses apparently built by the father of the novelist John Galsworthy between 1866 and 1886. This is the only one that survives, and is now a school.

On the left is Coombe Hill Road.
