History

Rothley Garden Suburb: under the supervision of Estate Architect George E Clare many of Britain’s top architects were commissioned to create a variety of superior homes for an area that now borders the triangle of The Ridgeway, Swithland Lane and The Ridings. The location still features many homes built in the desirable Arts and Crafts vernacular, of which 28 The Ridings, is an outstanding example – especially as it rejoices in an original and unmolested Edwardian form.
