Work on the house at the end of Thamesgate Close has now finished and while it is something of a oddity it is not as bad as it could have been.
The main problem at the front is that the windows have (vertical) mullions rather than (horizontal) transforms. It is an error made elsewhere on the estate so it is hard to be too critical. Similarly the arched window has been truncated but it has been retained.
The biggest problem with the side view, facing Ham Lands, is the presence of two (!) air conditioning units. Trees have been planted in front of them in the hope that they will provide cover. Similarly trellises have been put against the wall to help merge the house with its surroundings.

The side view is the house's biggest problem and it is up to time to try and fix this.
The back garden has gone to be replaced by decking which is spied on by four porthole windows. It is a bit bland and a few pots would help.
