Ayr Court, Hanger Hill
Part of the Hanger Hill Garden Estate. Developed between 1928 and 1932 on land that had been an airfield in the first world war.
This quote is from the residents association website. "The Hanger Hill Garden Estate is one of the finest examples of what is popularly known as Mock Tudor architecture. But don't mock it too hard. The style is no longer unfashionable: the Estate's quiet surroundings, disturbed only by birdsong and the snuffling of hedgehogs in the privet on summer evenings, are within easy reach of both Heathrow and central London. The houses and flats on the Estate command high prices and residents will bear witness to the reality of what the writer Nicklaus Pevsner has described as "the beau ideal of romantic ideal Metroland".

"Wrong" gate and fence in conservation area
One of the characteristics of this conservation area is the use of wooden gates and privet hedges. Before the area became a conservation area some gates had been replaced, some hedges had been replaced by fences. See Image for the original type of gate and hedge.
