Hi Steve, It looks like there is garage access, so I would tag it highway=service, possibly with an appropriate access= tag if access is restricted. https://bit.ly/1WNyjdd <https://bit.ly/1WNyjdd>
If you are referring to the foot access to the west of that, I’d do highway=footway (perhaps with bicycle=yes if appropriate) and name it Paisley Place as well, if that name refers to that side of the homes also.
