What to look for

1930s House Style

  • Typically retro in Tudor/Elizabethan style
  • Half timbered - a mix of red brick and pebbledash
  • Houses were smaller
  • Most had a front room leading to a hall, sometimes a second sitting room and a kitchen
  • Upstairs were two large bedrooms, a third much smaller room and a bathroom and toilet.
  • Bungalows or chalet-style houses with bedrooms in the roof were popular.
  • Frontage often contained herringbone brickwork
  • Windows often diamond-shaped leaded panes
  • Front doors with leading and stained glass in top third
  • Herringbone dark oak parquet flooring
  • Lots of plastic, glass and chrome
