Rookfield

garden village

Rookfield Garden Village is a prime example of design that recognises the value of aesthetics in creating a good way to live. Its unchanged character (and infrequency of homes for sale) is a testament to the values and ethics of those who built it. These few roads hold the largest collection of Arts & Crafts houses in England and enjoy protection as a Conservation Area.

You can find Rookfield Garden Village in Muswell Hill, North London. It's just a few streets: Etheldene Avenue, The Chine, Cascade Avenue, Cranmore Way, Rookfield Avenue and Rookfield Close.

This website is managed by residents. It's a celebration of the area and we hope it helps to protect this unique collection of Arts & Crafts houses. We are not design experts and we appreciate input from architects and historians.
