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

there is the ubiquitous 'Wendy house' door, eg.

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

That's one way to reduce the value of your property. Buy a property with a door
like that you know you're going to be faced with artex ceilings, pebble dashed
walls, a bright pink bathroom suite, and polystyrene cornices and moldings.
