Housing

The central village comprises housing from the mid to late Victorian period, mainly along Weybourne Road. There is Local Authority Housing from the 1940s and 1950's off Upper Weybourne Lane, and additional private housing was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s off Lower Weybourne Lane and Upper Weybourne Lane. Housing has been added sporadically since, with residential flats and some smaller housing developments in the 1980s and early 1990s. Towards the edge of the village, near the border with Aldershot, the housing changes in character with housing from the 1920s and 1930's being more prevalent.
