Saddlers Lane in Yaldhurst and nothing on library website. This would have been part of the Noble subdivision.

The houses were all built in 2017 and most look exactly the same. A square box with a small square of lawn and space to park a car. A couple of houses had a few shrubs but most had unmown lawns. The houses are on only one side of the narrow street as there is a green space on the other side. There are huge power pylons in the green space. A walkway runs between the street and the green space. No photos as it didn’t inspire me to take photos.

Stirrup Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standardbred horses. Named in 2011.

A reasonable amount of information from the library website considering that the street doesn’t exist. There is no information on the valuation website. There is a street sign. I checked google maps and street view for 2019 shows a street being formed next to the street sign. There weren’t any houses in this area at that stage. There is now a house with a Rannoch Drive address where the street was being formed. This really tickled my sense of humour. I even walked the street behind Rannoch Drive but still couldn’t find a street.

Strathcarron Place in Broomfield – Named after Strathcarron, a small village in west Ross-shire, Scottish Highlands.Named to continue the Scottish theme of the street names in the adjoining Kintyre Estates subdivision. In the Masham Park subdivision. Named in 2009.

A small amount of information from the library website. I lived in the UK for 5 years and I did a short stint in London at Christmas in 2009. Lady Strathcarron the 4th wife of the second Baron Strathcarron lived in the same building and she was a friend of my client. All I can say is that it sounds like the Baron was an interesting person and had lived a very full life before he died at the age of 82 by hitting a dustcart when riding his motorbike.

The street is not as interesting and none of the houses stood out for me. They were all built in 2010. At the end of the street there is a walkway that leads into Neathwest Reserve.

Loch Tanna Way and nothing on library website. Loch Tanna is on the Isle Arran and because of the name of the street it would have been in the Kintyre Estates subdivision. Not sure if it is in Yaldhurst or Broomfield. The valuation website puts it in Broomfield but most real estate ads put it in Yaldhurst. The valuation website has 18 houses for this street but I thought when walking it that there were more than this. There are still houses being built on this street and even the occupied houses have an unfinished look about them. This is probably because landscaping still hasn’t been done.

Rannoch Drive in Broomfield – Named after Loch Rannoch in Scotland. Named to continue the Scottish theme of street names used in adjoining subdivisions. In Stage Two of the Masham Park subdivision by Enterprise Homes. Named in 2010.

A small amount of information from the library website. Most houses here were built in 2010 but there are still a few being built. Lots of green spaces on this street. The houses didn’t really stand out for me but a couple had nice gardens. A variety of different styles which always makes for a more interesting street but none inspired me to take photos.

Tangy Loch Lane in Broomfield – Named after Tangy Loch in Kintyre, Scotland.Named to continue the Scottish theme of the street names in the Kintyre Estates subdivision. Named in 2012.

A small amount of information from the library website and I love the name of this street. Most houses here were built in 2014 and there are houses on only one side of the street. The Neathwest Reserve is on the other side of the street. There was a footpath on this street and I walked until I couldn’t go any further and I then was able to go into the reserve.

Horseman Lane in Yaldhurst and nothing on library website. Because of the name of the street it will have been part of the Noble subdivision. Only 9 houses here and most were built in 2022 and at least one is still being built. Didn’t actually walk this street as it didn’t have a footpath and just looked like a driveway to about 3 or 4 houses so I was surprised when I realised that there are 9 houses here.

Apple Orchard Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. Named in 2011.

A small amount of information from the library website. I didn’t actually walk this street as it didn’t look like a street. It looked like a courtyard and the houses all looked exactly the same. They were all built in 2020. They were fairly small houses with a tiny bit of lawns in front of them.

Stud Rd in Yaldhurst – Named because the street was developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. In the Noble Village subdivision [This name caused great mirth among councillors at the Riccarton-Wigram Community Board meeting when the chairman presented the council with a list of names to be approved for streets in the subdivision.] Named in 2011

A small amount of information from the library website and I can just imagine the councillors behaving like immature school kids over the name. There is a footpath on both sides of the street and most houses were built in 2021 but there are still houses being built here. The houses and street are too new to have any character yet.

Founders Lane in Yaldhurst – In the Noble Village subdivision developed on the former Applefields land in Yaldhurst Road. The property has historical connections with the breeding and racing of standard breed horses. Named in 2011.

A small amount of information from the library website. Only 10 houses here that were built in 2021 and the song Little Boxes by Pete Seeger popped into my head again. That was the second time today when out walking this area. The street comes out onto a wee reserve with trees and seating. I couldn’t find a name for the reserve.
