Description

Far End is a house built in 1911, designed by Evelyn Simmons for himself. It is constructed of brick in English bond and features a hipped tile roof. The house has two storeys with a dormer and is arranged in a symmetrical three-window layout around the entrance. The entrance includes a door of authentic design set beneath a semicircular hood in the Georgian style. To either side of the entrance are two and three-light windows, connected by a panel that bears the inscription 'Far End Wyldes Close' in a decorative script typical of the period. There is a relieving arch above the central first-floor window, with four-light windows flanking it. A pediment is present over the central range, with a raking cornice that extends across the block as part of the entablature.

Inside, the entrance hall features two groin vaulted bays and a staircase of authentic design. The interior includes many cornices and other modest decorative details that are original to the house. The original plan of the house remains intact. The design is inspired by Georgian architecture, interpreted in a free yet effective manner. Simmons also designed several Georgian revival houses in the Hampstead Garden Suburb, and Far End, along with Gates House and Wyldes Close Corner, forms a notable group within Wyldes Close.
