Due to the small rooms in Victorian property, many properties have been rennovated and their rooms have been knocked through to created open plan living spaces while extensions have gobbled up the gardens and side-returns.

Victorian property period features include slate roof tiles, brick walls and large sash windows, while inside wooden floors were very common. Most Victorian properties have retained their fireplaces, high skirting boards and cornicing but if you need to replace any period features visit your local salvage yard.
