The origins of the Woodville estate date to 1797 when James Yates purchased a property on the west side of Cliff Road. The house is shown on the 1803-4 Ordnance Survey drawing, accessed by two entrances from what is now Cliff Road. An engraving in a book by Abraham Hawkins, published in 1819, shows the house with its prominent veranda, which it is suggested was modelled on The Moult,
