Lavender in the census?

Matthew Overton + wife Elizabeth + son Harry are living in the Lavender-designed house for both the 1881 and 1891 Census Returns. Matthew dies in 1896, and widow and son move to Clifton Road, so it's not easy to identify the house in the 1901 Census when it would have been numbered (probably!).

In the 1891 Census, 'Sutton Park Station Midland Railway' is listed (but obviously not inhabited!) between Anchorage Road and Tudor Hill. The Census sequence seems to go down Tudor Hill from the station, listing the house + owner as:

1891
[Anchorage Road begins]
[Sutton Park Station]
[Tudor Hill ends]
// Duncalfe
// Titley
// Brokes
// Cadbury
// Graves
// Bullows
// Butler
// OVERTON
// Shannon
// Rhodes
// Baker
// Morris
// Chesterton
// Wilson
// Coley
// Curtis
// Eddowes
// Arbuthnot
// Morrington
[Tudor Hill begins]
[Springfield Place ends]

For the 1881 Census, it sequence is reversed, i.e. goes up the hill:
[Sutton Park begins]
[Tudor Hill ends]
// Sitley
/ uninhabited
// Curtis
// Cartwright
// OVERTON
// Duncalfe
// Morris
// Arundale
// Turnpenny
// Tisdale
// Eddowes
// Reeves
// Probert
["M. Railway St"]
[Sutton Park Lodge]
[Four Oaks Park]
[Four Oaks Hall]

No, can't match these together and won't be able to link to the 1901 Census.
