The estate comprises two thirteen-storey blocks completed by 1971. These are Purcell House (left) and Bliss House (right). An official report by the London Borough of Enfield in 2012 described the estate in less than complimentary terms: "Out of centre location lacking good transport accessibility that is inappropriate for a tall building. The existing blocks are not of high quality architectural standard; do not contribute positively to the public realm / surrounding environment; are intrusive in views and do little to aid legibility of the borough." The houses in the foreground are in Mahon Close. The watercourse beside them is the New River.
