Batsford (Number 1) and Mountview (Number 3)

A pair of semi-detached villas, Numbers 1 and 3, were built around 1830 to 1850, and subsequently altered. They are constructed of stucco over brick, with a hipped slate roof and stucco ridge stacks.

The villas are two storeys high, with a basement level, and feature a 2:4:2:1 window arrangement. A four-window range sits between recessed two-window sections. The villa on the right has a projecting ground-floor porch at an angle, while the porch on the left has been extended to full height and further raised. A single-bay range is set back to the right. The stucco detailing includes a moulded first-floor sill band and tooled architraves to the windows; the ground-floor windows have cornices supported by console brackets. Most windows are 6/6 sashes. The villa on the far left has tripartite windows with a 2/2 sash between two 2/2 sashes on both the ground and first floors, the ground floor window featuring a cornice on console brackets. Basement windows are 4/8 sashes.

The entrances are reached by flights of eight roll-edged steps leading to six-fielded-panel doors with fanlights (now blocked on the left), all within tooled architraves that include a keystone and imposts. Pilasters have an incised Greek key motif. The villa to the left also has a round-arched opening with a blind window, and a further inserted entrance to the left return. Wide eaves are present. On the returns, there are round-arched staircase sashes.

The interiors have not been inspected. The Park, where the villas are located, was laid out by Thomas Billings by 1833 as an oval, tree-lined drive with a central park. This park briefly operated as a zoological garden in the mid-19th century. Samuel Daukes bought the development in 1839 and continued its building, influenced by the schemes for Regent's Park developed by White and Nash in 1809-11.
