Which is not the case here.  It is not a settlement.  It is one block
of houses on a street which has many other houses.  Whilst most
of those house have addresses like 1 Foo Street, Smallville; 2
Foo Street, Smallville, between 10 Foo Street, Smallville and
11 Foo Street, Smallville is 1 Bar Cottages, Foo Street, Smallville
and 2 Bar Cottages, Foo Street, Smallville.

You understand it wrong.  The official address is 1, Bar Cottages, Foo Road,
Smallville.  Bar Cottages is not a suburb or a locality or a place.

This would be incorrect.  Bar Cottages is on Foo Road.

addr:place=Bar Cottages, Foo Road

That's true of one case I know.  The Royal Oak Pub on Quay Street was
split into a number of houses, so 1 Royal Oak, Quay Street, etc.  it's
not true of others I know.
