When were Georgian houses built

Georgian properties refer to those constructed between 1714 and 1830, during the reigns of Georges I-IV. The term can also encompass late Georgian properties, built between 1830 and 1837, which share a similar style and were constructed during the reign of King William IV.

What are the typical features of a Georgian house

Beloved for their classical proportions and elegant details, the exterior of Georgian houses typically features symmetrical facades, sash windows with small panes and decorative lintels or keystones, tall and narrow chimneys poking through slate roofing and a decorative and centrally located front door acting as the focal point on the home's façade.

Inside Georgian houses, you will typically find a well-organized floor plan with rooms arranged around a central hallway or stairway, high ceiling, decorative walls leading down to wooden floorboards and large windows that allow for plenty of natural light.
