Isn't "period feature" just estate agent speak for junk that need modernisation?

"High Hopes" Mike Leigh 1988

Leslie Manville plays Leatitia and David Bamber plays Rupert.

Leatitia and Rupert live in a gentrified small terrace house in Hammersmith.
The house next door is lived in by a working class old lady played by
Edna Dore. By the state it's in, her house hasn't been touched since the
day it was built. Leatitia and Rupert have never even spoken to the
old lady up to now ,but now there's a crisis and they have to go into
her house.
Lesley Manville as Laetitia in her best posho voice looks around the
old ladies front room and says to the uncomprehending Edna Dore
character with her lived in face "Oh my dear aren't you so lucky !
You've still got all your original features!"
