Medium density villa development constructed following the break up and sale of Sprotbrough Park in the 1920s (Fenton-Thomas 2006). This phase of development took place in an area of park first landscaped at the direction of Godfrey Copley in the late 17th and early 18th century in the continental style which he had witnessed first hand on a visit to Versailles (Klemperer 2003 quoted in Fenton-Thomas). This classical style had by the 1850s been almost completely replaced by grounds in the naturalistic style with geometric plantings and canals replaced by scattered specimen trees and semi regular woodland clumps presented by means of curving and sinuous driveways and walks designed to offer optimum views of this idealised landscape and the surrounding managed countryside of the surrounding estate. These properties mostly developed at a medium density between 1948 and 1966 with later infill of low density large villas by 1997. The southern portion of this area would appear to lie within probable medieval village plots shown on a 1711 plan of Sprotborough and converted to parkland by 1851. Fragmentary legibility of relict parkland features possible.
