A small estate built in the spirit of the Garden City movement laid out in the early 20th century. Gordon Drive is a wide curved low density street with ten large detached and semi detached houses developed piecemeal, probably as individual architect-designed commissions. The street has large gardens, grass verges and an avenue of ornamental cherry trees. Several of the houses adopt Arts & Crafts motifs such as cat-slide roofs, tall chimneys, clay tilework. No. 1 has a lychgate. Doorways are simple and round-headed mock Tudor or classical openings with oak front doors. Original metal windows survive. Nos. 1 and 3 are good examples.
