This area is a mix of different housing types but is mainly characterised by semi-detached housing. The 1st edition OS map of 1854 depicts an area dominated by a large villa called 'Hexthorpe House'. Some terraced housing was built around the fringes but in the late 1930s Hexthorpe House was demolished and replaced with semi-detached housing. This has been supplemented with infill developments of detached and semi-detached houses. Given the proximity of Hexthorpe Manor, this area may have been part of the medieval village. Legibility of the former character however, is invisible.
