Check out ​Architectural House Styles

1950's House

Architectural House styles tend to be set in timeframes which were often  defined by the ruling monarch at the time but not always.

​A time frame era does not however herald a complete set of new design rules overnight - not immediately  - and not  the further you get away from London and the other large cities. 
​
So bear this in mind and  look around at preceding architectural house styles as you attempt to determine the date of your house. Remember that houses are designed and built by people who will often draw on previous eras for their inspiration.
