Description
Hawthorne Terrace comprises a terrace of two pairs of cottages, built in 1907 as part of the New Earswick village scheme. Designed by Parker and Unwin for the Joseph Rowntree Village Trust, the terrace is constructed of brick with a French tile roof. The design incorporates lobby entry, leading to a living room and a scullery. The building is arranged over two storeys, featuring six first-floor windows punctuated by central gables on each pair of cottages. Standard "New Earswick" window panes are used throughout. Replacement glazed doors are set within porches added to the two central and outer bays, flanking pairs of canted bay windows that break the tile band at the cornice level. The first floor features two small casements above the central doors, with pairs of three-light casements to the gable ends. Roof lights are positioned to flank the gables. The roof is hipped, and stacks have been removed. The significance of New Earswick lies in its pioneering contribution to the development of low-cost housing in Britain. The experience and practices developed here influenced the Tudor Walters Report of 1918, which was vital in the passing of the Addison Act of 1919. Plans used at New Earswick also informed the Government Manual on low-cost housing.
