Houses of a similar type are also seen in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825144 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825236

Seen from the footpath that runs mostly between garden fences on the northwest edge of this estate off Raleigh Road. Will this idyllic landscape one day be covered in houses all the way up to Holcombe Down, right, and Little Haldon? Houses similar to those on the right are also seen in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825144 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825242

The view is northeast from near the summit of The Lea. Shepherds' Lane descends from the left towards Headway Cross. Coombe Way/Lane is out of sight below the field in the foreground. Woodland on the left skyline is Holcombe Down. Much of the housing on the right is on the eastern slope of the Coombe valley. New housing developments continue to advance up the hillsides.

Here conventional detached houses march up the hill on the edge of countryside.

A piece of lush green Devonshire woodland and a public open space. The sign also says Teignbridge District Council / Supported by the Countryside Commission. The Countryside Commission as such was set up in 1968. It ceased to exist in 1999 when it was merged with the Rural Development Commission to form the Countryside Agency. This has in turn evolved into Natural England, partly by eventual merger with English Nature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Countryside_Commission

Apparently, a bridge allows vehicle access to first floor garages. How the rest of the house is arranged is not known but it could be that reception rooms and kitchen are on the first floor with bedrooms and bathroom downstairs. At lower left the footpath through the northwest side of the estate drops steeply down to Gilbert Avenue.

Some of the closes on this estate sport these two-storey blocks, assumed to be flats with an external access to the first floor. The ground floor has an integral garage rather than a picture window. It's possible they are houses in which case they presumably have an internal staircase as well? Similar houses are also seen in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825236 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3825242

The tight bend at the top of Drake Avenue leaves this large piece of highway land. Drake Avenue climbs its own hill while the Moor View Drive estate across the Coombe valley climbs another.

The council's rangers (guessing) have built some boardwalks to span the mud on this path through the wood – a piece of lush green Devonshire woodland and a public open space..

How long before those fields are covered in sprawl too?
