OK property geeks, have a look at this and tell me when you think it was built... I've just got the title deeds and was surprised!

1970s?

NotMrsTumble · 11/08/2015 12:33

I'm going for much much earlier around 1920

SamBlackCrow · 11/08/2015 12:35

1980's?

AlbrechtDurer · 11/08/2015 12:35

I'd say 1950s.

InQuiteAPickle · 11/08/2015 12:36

TheOneWiththeNicestSmile · 11/08/2015 12:44

Ah - hadn't looked at inside

Earlier then - 20s or 30s

addictedtosugar · 11/08/2015 12:44

1930s

HowDdo2You · 11/08/2015 12:45

RandomFriend · 11/08/2015 12:48

1957/8?

GemmaTeller · 11/08/2015 12:50

1930's

TremoloGreen · 11/08/2015 12:50

OK. Most people are more clued in than me.

It was built in 1938. I thought maybe 1950? The decor is more 60s/70s though. It just doesn't say 1930s house to me. This is my idea of a 30s house (nearby)

So if you thought it was 1920s/30s, how did you know?

Another one saying 1920s/30s. It's mainly the size of the garden that makes me think this. Houses built later tend to have smaller gardens as land became more expensive.

SwingingBalls · 11/08/2015 12:51

From the inside lay out, I would say 1954 but the outside is indicating something newer. 1979.

SwingingBalls · 11/08/2015 12:52

X posted. And wrong.

sherbetpips · 11/08/2015 12:52

I woudl have said 70's/80's but it does have that council house style brick which could make it earlier but I wouldnt have gone as early as that!

Verbena37 · 11/08/2015 12:53

Definitely around 1930s. If you take away the newer windows and fake leading, you can see from the brickwork, it's a 1930s style.

Verbena37 · 11/08/2015 12:54

Oops, just seen your post answering the age!

wowfudge · 11/08/2015 12:55

My original thought was 1930s - should have stuck with that! Not that there's a prize.

TremoloGreen · 11/08/2015 12:55

sherbert so funny - when I showed it to my father, he said "is it on a council estate?!" Grin

InQuiteAPickle · 11/08/2015 12:56

There are some properties near me that are new build but they have been built in the style of 1930s houses and they look similar. That's how I guessed knew.

GemmaTeller · 11/08/2015 12:57

mmm....

because I spend too much time on rightmove and zoopla

I really love houses and buildings and architecture.

ChilliAndMint · 11/08/2015 12:58

I thought pre WW2. My friend has an almost identical ex council semi. The brickwork is like new and has a pattern in it. Those houses were built to last.
