I had a 1924 bungalow, nothing gorgeous like this. Mine was so plain as if moving into a 1960 ranch. Only thing special; Chinese landscape wall paper in every room.

ah yes the contrast can be huge. The house next door to this house is the same as yours. I did the explore on that and will be posting it shortly. I was a bit confused as to why one was so beautifully done with so much attention to detail and the other was so plain. Welcome to my channel, thanks for watching and commenting

Loved those original features pocket watch 😊 as you said - they just don't make em like this anymore - can't wait to see your next temptation ☺️

[@Pocket-Watch]

The next will be the house next door and I am afraid it didn't fair as well through the years as this one. I will release that video in a couple of days time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Betty is still loving her treats, cheers

@Pocket-Watch give Betty a huge hug from me 🥰 looking forward to your next video darl 🌺

It'll be good to get this 20s bungalow restored to its former glory and original appearance.

[@Pocket-Watch]

I'm afraid with todays zest for demolition of everything and selling places just for their land value to build endless townhouses on these sites, this house will be lost to history. It is a race to beat the demolisher to document all these places before they go. Welcome to my channel, thanks for watching and commenting

Thumbs up Big like 👍 👌.

[@Pocket-Watch]

Thanks mate appreciate you coming over and checking this once in a lifetime chance to explore a building such as this. The leadlight stained glass crosses everywhere alone was so worth seeing. The fireplaces were so vibrant in colour the camera didn't capture them very well.

I enjoy this video and thanks for sharing it

[@Pocket-Watch]

Thanks mate, appreciate you checking it out and commenting. This was a fun explore, it was one i had done previously and lost on my other phone i was glad it was still standing as so many of the other places I did are now demolished or badly destroyed. Cheers

I think that the ceiling moldings have an Art Nouveau style.

[@Pocket-Watch]

Yes you are correct. I am thinking this house was perhaps late 1920's coming into the Art nouveau era. Welcome to my channel, i appreciate you watching and commenting.

never heard them called daddo rails before I have always known them as picture rails

[@Pocket-Watch]

Dado rail is a carpenters term we used back in the day, I guess technically it depends on how high up the rail was whether it was called a dado rail or a picture rail. Some used the rail as a decretive feature part way up the wall and others put it up higher to make it more functional and used as a picture rail. Thanks for watching and commenting and sharing out one again my friend, cheers

Another great explore 🤗

Another great explore pw! Thanks!

[@Pocket-Watch]

Appreciate you checking this video out and commenting on both channels mate, cheers

[@thecompguy]

@Pocket-Watch Always! You put it out on both, it's the least I can do! 😉 I can really see how much you enjoy doing these! I Love it!

I would say that style of light switch is from the late 60s

[@Pocket-Watch]

The bakelite switches are from 1907 onwards but i am not sure about the brass light switches, i will need to do some more research to get a more accurate date on them. I haven't seen this style of brass light switch before. Considering this place looked like it hadn't been altered through the generations I wonder if they were an original feature. Thanks for your comment, I will find out more info and get back to you on this, cheers

[@kimfitzgeraldrockfam8973]

@@Pocket-Watch yes there was bakelite switches in my grandparents house
