28-38, HOGARTH HILL

These are a row of houses built between 1910 and 1913, designed by Parker and Unwin as part of the Hampstead Garden Suburb. They are constructed of red brick in Flemish bond, with hipped tile roofs. The houses are two storeys high and form a rectangular block with obliquely angled crosswings, positioned across the corner of Addison Way. They form a strong group with numbers 37-43 (odd) and 57-79 Addison Way (odd). The tile roofs have swept and boxed eaves. The ten-window range has returns to the end wings, which are designed to resemble tower structures with hipped roofs, imparting a Germanic feel. A round-arched passage is located between the seventh and eighth window ranges, with an axial ridge stack above. A round-arched entrance is at number 34; the remaining ground-floor openings are either flat or camber arched. Gable-faced dormers with camber arched windows are found over ranges three, four, seven, and eight; the original glazing in number 32 has been replaced. Below each dormer is a polygonal bay with brick spandrels. Most of the original casement windows remain, retaining their original design. Small dormers are located on the inside returns of the tower roofs. The end wings have a one-window range to the inside returns and face the roads, with number 38 featuring a hipped dormer. The return to number 28 has a three-window range, with a wall projecting forward between the first and second window ranges, where there is an axial stack. The arrangement is similar to number 38. The buildings resolve the T-junction, creating an impression of a circular layout with three rectangular blocks.
