No 16 Ingram Avenue

No. 16 Ingram Avenue is a detached house dating from approximately 1935, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens with John C.S. Soutar acting as executive architect. It is constructed of silver-grey bricks with red brick dressings and a tiled roof. The house has a rectangular plan with single-storey projections on either side of the front facade.

The exterior is two-storeys and symmetrical, featuring a five-window front. A central doorcase is topped with a swan's neck pediment. Flanking the door are eight-over-six-pane windows, with shallow red brick niches in the outer bays. The first floor has eight-over-eight-pane sash windows, each framed by red brick arches and strips alongside the window cases. A moulded cornice runs along the top of the building. The hipped roof features two tall chimney shafts positioned outside of the outer window bays. Single-storey extensions project to either side; one is a garage, and the other a service room, each featuring a bull's eye window facing the street. The sides and rear of the house have been altered.

The interior is largely plain and has been altered in parts, but includes a wooden staircase with moulded balusters located in the northwest corner. The house was designed for the son of Reginald McKenna, a former Chairman of Midland Bank and a patron of Lutyens. The plot was acquired in 1934 and Lutyens consulted on the exterior design, which was developed in discussion with the clients. Soutar oversaw all aspects of the design except the façade. The house is listed to illustrate Lutyens’s work within the Hampstead Garden Suburb, and particularly for its principal street elevation. The interior and side/rear elevations are considered to lack the same level of special interest as the front facade.
