The Chenies
Various builders were involved in developing Petts Wood in the late 1920s/1930s, and provided they subscribed to the overall vision of Basil Scruby, the man behind the concept of Petts Wood as a green field "garden suburb", they were allowed to leave their individual mark. One of the best known builders involved was Noel Rees, typified by his "Tudor" style, and The Chenies is the pinnacle of his contribution. It is a private cul-de sac of 29 houses, each similar but different in style. In 1982 it was designated a Conservation Area. The name of the road comes from the village of the same name in Buckinghamshire, and was suggested by one of the first residents of the road who had moved in from that county.
