Are you ready to step inside the world of period homes? To unlock
the secrets of the iconic buildings we see throughout the cities,
towns and villages of Britain? Then this is the book for you.
Period homes are all around us. Not only are they charming homes
for those lucky enough to live in them, but they also give the
community in which they're set a distinguished character and a link
with the past. Yet sometimes it's hard to know exactly which
features to look at in order to date these buildings. Or what to
look for if you need to replace an original fitting. This book aims
to help the reader recognise the common architectural styles and
original features from each period, whether they just want to find
out more about a particular property, or are trying to restore one.
If you're in the middle of a renovation, for example, and you want
to know which original window style you should be installing,
you'll find it here. All styles and periods are covered - from
graceful Regency terraces with elegant iron balconies and muscular
Victorian houses with colourful stained glass, to Edwardian homes
with white patterned timber work, and stylish 1930s semis with
curved suntrap windows. From glasswork and doors to fireplaces and
floors (plus everything in between) this is a treasure trove of
information about the British period homes we love.
