Lytton Close, Hampstead Garden Suburb

Lytton CloseTucked away in Hampstead Garden Suburb, in north London, is a wonderful little cul-de-sac of white modernist houses.

They date from the mid 1930s are protected with a Grade II heritage listing and at least some of them were designed by architect G G Winbourne.

The design of each house is different but the all have a flat roof offering great views over the surrounding streets. Several have a glass room on their roof.

The metal-framed windows are another common feature as can be seen in the above photos. The houses also have a central bay and the walls (and windows) curve into the recessed opening. These bays have a small balcony on the second floor and also at roof level, both with metal railings.

Some of the houses also had (very) small garages and this one (below) has a very stylish front door.

I've found a couple of Lytton Close houses listed for sale on the net and they will only set you back between £1,275,000 and £1,650,000.
