  • Standard house was ‘two up and two down’ which means two rooms upstairs and two downstairs with kitchen and bathroom to the back of the house. 
  • Terraced houses had the doors in pairs instead of in the middle of the house or on the same side of the house as seen before. 
  • Round headed windows were more common. 
  • Ridge decorations on roofs were popular. 
  • Towers on houses were in fashion.
  • Full height bay windows were common in the late Victorian and were often square.
  • Halls were lavishly decorated.
  • Bedrooms started to have sinks in them.
