There are devious means to get hold of data.

New development - visit the developer's website. They often have site plans
- although numbering may be plot numbers than house numbers.

Definitive map for public rights of way - I suspect will be publicly
available nationally county by county. Includes house names and numbers -
but do evaluate the data as it's not nececcerily accureate.[!!]
