Lycroft Close is a quiet L shaped cul de sac approached off the
wide tree lined Milldown Avenue. The Close comprises detached
houses of differing size, architectural design and internal
arrangement and were built in the mid 1960 s by Gough Cooper, a
well respected Development Company. The houses are traditionally
constructed in a contemporary style for the period and have the
benefit of good sized gardens. The top part of the Close only has
houses along one side of the road which all face a wide grassed
verge with mature deciduous trees forming a small copse extending
along the full length behind providing colour and interest through
the year.
