both Hendon

A group of flat-roofed houses in Ashley Road and Sherwood Road in Hendon by Welch, Cachemaille-Day and Lander, now sadly much changed. The houses were similar to some of those by the firm on the Hanger Hill estate (see Ealing here), boxy homes in brick with sunroofs and balconies. The most spectacular of the group, No. 54, known as ‘Everest’, had a curved staircase tower, nautical-style balconies with railings and a sweeping driveway, now unfortunately demolished. One street over is the White House, a striking, Grade II-listed design in white render, with the same components of staircase tower, Crittall windows and sunroof.
