Highclere Court is a block of 9 flats built in the late 20th Century replacing a previous Edwardian house, 27 Avenue Road. Beyond, with the turret, is Cadoxton Place, a distinctive house built in the late 19th Century, originally named St Raphael's. Until 2010 this was a home for the blind; it has since been subdivided into flats and renamed.

A large Victorian mansion in Avenue Road, originally named St Raphael's, which from 1932 to 2010 served as a care home for blind and partially sighted people, run by the St John's Guild. It has since been subdivided into flats and renamed. The building is locally listed.

Housing in the mainly late 19th/early 20th Century development of "Sandridge New Town", an area of land between Sandpit Lane and Sandridge Road, originally outside the boundaries of St Albans and in the parish of Sandridge, prior to the extension of the municipal area in 1879, just south of where Boundary Road (in the background) was laid out. Most of the housing in the area is terraced - the two nearest buildings at the southern end of Heath Road are an exception.
