7 bed detached house to rent

Winnington Road, London N2

Overview

The Historic England listing highlights this building’s “emphasis on pure geometry, ” reflecting a strong influence of Modernist design. Its style is compared to the early 1920s domestic work of Frank Lloyd Wright in California. The exterior is particularly praised for Scott’s skilful integration of “historicist detail with a Modernist feeling for mass and form.” Scott’s designs for Spaniards Mount were also exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1938.
Bridget Cherry, in the London: North edition of the Pevsner Architectural Guides (1998), dates the house to 1936 and describes it as successfully blending “brick-facing and sash windows with a more Modernist central balcony.” She also notes its setting among the “very showy... Almost universally genteel Neo-Georgian” houses near Hampstead Golf Club.
