13-19, ASMUNS HILL

A group of artisans' cottages built in 1909 by Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin, located on Asmuns Hill in the Hampstead Garden Suburb. The cottages were designed to resemble a double-ended hall house. They are constructed with painted pebbledash walls, featuring a brick plinth in Flemish bond to the crosswings only, with the brick painted to number 19. They have tile kneelers. The cottages consist of a central range with five windows and gable-ended crosswings, each with one window. They are very similar in design to numbers 1-7 Asmuns Hill, differing only in minor details such as the right jambs of the round-arched cross passage, which are painted; a late 20th-century casement window to the left of the entrance at number 19; and a slender gable light on the facing gable of number 13, also apparently of later date. The Asmuns Hill group represents a significant example of a complete streetscape designed by Parker and Unwin.
