This area was part of the original 1907 land purchase from Eton College, and was developed mainly in 1907-08. Willifield Way contains cottages built by Parker and Unwin but building was completed as late as 1912 in the Sutcliffe group at the south end of Willifield Way.
The houses on Willifield Way were designed in groups by architects closely associated with Unwin. There are groups of houses by G. Lucas, Michael Bunney, Sutcliffe and Crickmer.
Willifield Way Green is a 0.29 hectare green space beside the road. It evokes an idealised rural ambience around which houses are formally grouped.
