Pre-1960 cottages and weatherboard
The old town centre and the Kelmscott side. Small floor plans, timber floors under carpet in places, high ceilings, sleepouts and lean-to laundries added over the years.
Where it fails an inspection
- Timber sills, jambs and skirtings, which mark if they are scrubbed rather than washed
- Picture rails and cornices, which collect more than modern square-set does
- Original kitchens with unsealed cupboard interiors
- Sleepouts and rear extensions, often with louvres
