Where to buy in Hampstead Garden Suburb
September 29th, 2008 by | Filed under Hampstead Garden Suburb.Hampstead Garden Suburb consists of the “old “ suburb - roughly the part falling within the NW11 postcode - and the “new” suburb - the part in the N2 postcode. The centre of Hampstead Garden Suburb is Central Square, with North Square and South Square at either end. Central Square contains neo-Georgian terraced houses and flats. There are further large terraced houses in North Square and a mixture of houses and purpose-built flats in South Square. Just to the west of the square is Willifield Way which contains attractive cottages with a slightly mediaeval feel. Off it run smaller roads containing cottages such as Erskine Hill and Asmuns Hill. If you cross over the busy Falloden Way, there are streets such as Westholm, Midholm and Eastholm which contain similarly attractive cottages. In the south, Willifield Way runs into Hampstead Way and then Meadway, which runs right across the Suburb. Some of the most exclusive houses are in the closes running off Meadway to the south, such as Meadway, Linnell and Constable Closes. Meadway itself contains Meadway Court, a mansion block of flats. Hampstead Way contains large detached houses as well as Heathcroft, a 1920s mansion block. Hampstead Way skirts Hampstead Heath. Wildwood Road runs off midway between Hampstead Heath and the Hampstead golf course and contains some of the largest houses in the Suburb, and some of the most expensive, given the view. Wildwood Rise has similarly expensive houses. Wildwood Grove has smaller houses.
The New Suburb is Kingsley Way and Ossulton Way (its extension above Lyttleton Road) and streets east, together with Northway Middleway and Southway running off Central Square. The most prestigious houses in this part of the suburb are in the south where there are particularly large houses in Ingram Avenue and Winnington Road, with views over Hampstead golf course, and in nearby Spaniards Close. The Bishops Avenue which runs parallel to Winnington Road is often lumped in with the suburb by Estate agents. (It is known as “Millionaires Row”). There are large family houses with gardens in the three roads running off Central Square and in Thornton and Litchfield Ways which run between them. To the east of them, Holne Chase is Meadway by a different name and attractive houses can be found in the adjoining streets, such as Spencer Close and Neville Drive (which has a view over the golf course). North of Lyttleton Road there are more village-style houses in Eastholm, Midholm and Westholm, and larger houses in the other streets. There are also some mansion blocks such as Widdecombe Court.
