I do not think that this is Llewellyn Road. Currently there are not 4 pairs of semis to this design on Llewelyn road. I have checked the 10560 scale maps dated 1938 against google street view and this confirms there were not four pairs of semis on Llewellyn Road.
Reference old-maps.co.uk
There is however a line of semis to this design (including the alternating pattern of brick faced and rendered) on Northway near the junction with Llewellyn Road.
I think it is The Close, off Llewelyn Road. My father lived close by and as a 13 yr old, remembered the bomb being dropped and told me about it many years ago
As per the other comments, this is definitely The Close. I’m currently living in the central house in the picture, and the title deeds refer to the building being rebuilt in the 50s due to bomb damage. It’s the only house on the road with curved bay windows; which was done during the rebuild.

More likely in The Close, off LLellewyn Rd, see half way down link.
