1-7, Meadway Gate

These cottages, numbered 1 to 7 Meadway Gate, were built around 1910 based on designs by Edwin Palser. They feature painted pebbledash exteriors with a hipped tile roof and boxed eaves, presenting a pair of gables at the center. The two-storey structure has a canted plan and forms part of a group that serves as a gateway to Hampstead Garden Suburb from Hoop Lane. The elevation is characterized by a high hipped roof with broad projecting eaves and gables on the central units, creating a U-shaped valley between them. Each gabled range has a rectangular bay on both the ground and first floors, while the canted end units have similar bays on their returns, with eaves that oversail. The building has a total of ten windows, with two-window returns, and features round-arched twin passages; other openings are flat arched. The ground-floor windows have weatherings, and the first-floor windows are positioned close to the eaves, enhancing the horizontal appearance of the block. There is one high stack in the valley between the gables, two square ridge stacks on the party walls between Nos. 1 and 3, and 5 and 7, as well as one stack on the ridge of each canted end unit and additional stacks on the rear slope. This group of cottages is associated with Nos. 2-8 (even) Meadway Gate, and Palser's design replaced an earlier one from the Letchworth office of Parker and Unwin.
