On the left side of the road, several red‑brick houses sit slightly elevated above street level, separated from the pavement by stone walls, hedges, and metal gates. A large, leafy tree stands prominently in front of one of the properties, casting shade over the wall and garden area below it. The pavement on the left is wide and tidy, running alongside the stone wall and leading toward the houses further up the hill. On the right side of the image, the road bends smoothly to the right, with a grassy verge and open green area stretching alongside it. A few mature trees stand within the grassy area.Google
