My impression is that councils are very reluctant to adopt these days, 
so it quite likely to be, at most, a private residential road (although 
I'd personally tend to map it as access destination, rather than 
private, unless there were indications that cars were unwelcome without 
prior agreement.  There aren't really enough gradations of privacy to 
accurately map this sort of case (e.g. it might not be a public highway, 
but, if un-gated, no-one may be enforcing that, and even the residents 
may not have read their title deeds that carefully, until they get 
called upon to pay for upkeep!).
