5-11, Temple Fortune Hill

These are a group of artisans' cottages, built between 1908 and 1909 as part of the Hampstead Garden Suburb development. The architects were Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. The cottages are constructed with painted pebbledash walls, a red brick plinth in Flemish bond, and brickwork to a round-arched entrance leading to a twit ten passage in the centre. The roofs are tiled, with decorative tile kneelers to the facing gables.

The cottages are designed as gable-facing, double-ended houses, arranged with a five-window range centered between a one-window range on either end. They are two storeys high. The end units have entrances on returns, beneath porches; the central units are accessed via porches braced by metal supports. The number of casement lights in the windows varies, creating a syncopated rhythm within a symmetrical design. An axial ridge stack sits on the centre party wall, along with square axial stacks to the rear slope of the roof, aligned with the returns of the cross wings; a square stack is also located at the front of each cross wing. The windows are original casements.

The cottages are closely related to numbers 6-12 Temple Fortune Hill (listed separately), where the double-ended house design is repeated, though with slight variations in detail and layout. Nos. 5-11, together with numbers 1-35 (odd) and 2-36 (even) Temple Fortune Hill, form a significant part of the original artisans' quarter, as planned by Unwin. The design emphasizes a unified streetscape composed of distinct building types.
