Homes in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Hampstead Garden Suburb was founded in 1907 by Henrietta Barnett and laid out by Raymond Unwin and Barry Parker, with houses by architects including Edwin Lutyens. Its Arts and Crafts houses, cottages and closes are built in brick with clay tile roofs, leaded windows and steep gables, and the whole suburb is a conservation area.
As well as normal planning controls, the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust operates a scheme of management that controls alterations, extensions and even details like windows and paving. Golders Green, to the west, offers Edwardian and interwar houses and mansion flats in a less tightly controlled setting. Houses rarely come to market in poor condition, but original fabric can hide ageing services.
Areas we cover include Hampstead Garden Suburb, Golders Green, Temple Fortune, Central Square.
