Pre-1940 character cottages
The streets off Albany Highway. Jarrah floorboards, high ceilings, picture rails, deep timber skirtings and architraves, a lean-to laundry or bathroom added at the back.
Where it fails an inspection
- Sealed jarrah boards, which mark permanently under the wrong product
- Picture rails and deep cornices, which hold more than modern square-set
- Timber sills and sash windows, washed rather than scrubbed
- Rear additions, often with a different floor and older fittings
