A group of substantial urban villas, dating from the first half of the 19th century, built outside the confines of the old town. Associated with terraces, pleasure grounds and paddocks.

Lovie lists the properties Arden Hill, Oak Field and the Orchard; and mentions that there are several other early/mid C19th villas such as Mancetter Cottage (which he also refers to as Mancetter Lodge).
Lovie recomments adding Arden Hill and Mancetter Cottage to the Local List.
