St Neot Avenue is a cul de sac that creates its own little nucleus of exclusivity.

Its apartments have a common theme and are mostly set back from the street. This provides some design continuity. St Neot Avenue was created after Grantham, a sandstone mansion was demolished. and its estate subdivided.

St Neot Avenue runs west off Wylde Street. It pivots off its corner hexagonal-shaped pocket park, St Neots Reserve, with its well-maintained lawns, Agapanthus, heritage seating, a water bubbler and dog water bowl and a bus stop.

It takes its name from the birthplace, St Neot’s village in Cornwall, England, where the owner of the former mansion on the site, Grantham, was born. Grantham was built in 1836 and demolished in 1937 and the land subdivided.

Grantham Street nearby is named after the former estate.

Parkview apartments at number seven were built circa 1939 and incorporate multi-coloured brick detailing at the entrance in the Art Deco style. The dramatic staircase in the foyer is a signature item.

Apartment 2 retains its original high ceilings and floorboards.
