Woodcote Lane
Stretching from the west end of Rose Walk to Upper Woodcote Village, Woodcote Lane features a broad and curved road terminated by Village Green, a locally listed historic park and garden. The road has a sense of spaciousness and appearance of a country lane flanked by grass verges, hedges, and old trees. The mature trees, with interwoven branches high above the road, add a touch of grandeur. This picturesque scene is further enhanced with substantial houses set in extensive gardens especially on the western side, contributing the overall aesthetic of the area.
Public realm
The lane is lined with wide grass verges that serve as pavements, edged with narrow granite curbs, although many of these curbs have been replaced with timber edging.
Boundaries and borders
The streetscape is bordered by an informal footpath along the grass verge in front of a hedge, which varies in height, and is accompanied by trees. The houses are set well back from the boundary, behind landscaped front gardens.
Layout and form
Large detached houses are situated within extensive gardens, occupying regularly spaced plots. Houses are generally visible behind their front gardens, making an important contribution to the character.
