Houses are a mix of red brick, pebbledash and half timbering with red clay tile roofs and tile hung walls.  The overall living space is typically a hall leading to living room, dining room and kitchen. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and family bathroom. Semi-detached and detached houses offer generous living spaces, but lower ceilings than Victorian or Georgian houses.
