Introduction
The site at Woodville was surrounded by fields on three sides and wood to the south. It was an irregular site with a curvilinear drive leading to a lodge at the north end. There was boundary planting around a curved boundary to the site. This was probably one of a number of villas in this area at the end of the 19th century. The site survives in part as open space. The present house boundaries follow the curvilinear boundaries of the earlier site.
