What a revolting pastiche, I suppose they're going for the chav market.

One thing you have to watch out for in Victorian conservation areas is the
tendency to stick wooden 4 x 3 pane mock Georgian windows in. Then of

A clear example of architectural infantilism.

To be honest im not that bothered by plastic windows in modern houses
But front doors are another matter
Take your pick from these fine examples
