Two pairs of semi-detached houses built c.2000, replacing an earlier building, Greystone House, which served as a children's home, being marked as such on maps from the early 20th Century. The houses beyond are c.1950s when Hardwick Road, previously a cul-de-sac, was extended to meet the newly built Arbutus Road. Hardwick Road was shown with that name on the 1896 1:2500 map, but Hardwicke Road on the 1913-4 and 1935 editions before reverting to its current name in the 1962-3 version, presumably to avoid confusion with Hardwicke Road in Reigate (see Image). the houses
