Introduction
Oakleigh was a house with grounds developed on a roughly rectangular plot to the north of The Avenue. It was a compact site, with the house in a central position. Features included a lawn and a productive garden. This is one of number of similar sites in this area and could illustrate the first phases of development and expansion. The site is now lost. The house may survive but the gardens and grounds have been developed.
