These houses in Wood Ride were built by Noel Rees, one of the best known and most expensive builders in Petts Wood.

Four bedroom houses in Wood Ride, cost over £2000, nearly four times the cost of new houses being built elsewhere in south-east London at the time.

For a while Rees lived in Wood Ride in the house that was also the sale house. Rees also built other upmarket estates on the fringes of London.
