Georgian period property

Georgian property period features

However, the Georgian property style varied around the country and throughout the Georgian period as new influences from Europe seeped into the property designs.

London Georgian property is characterised by the yellowish bricks (which were meant to look more like natural stone and therefore more appealing).

An alternative to this Georgian style was the use of Stucco. Stucco is a coating made from lime plaster and marble dust which the Georgians painted on the outside of their properties which could then be painted and etched to resemble stone.

Internal Georgian period features were simple and practical, such as simple fireplaces and decorative fanlights.
