GEORGIAN.
Georgian front doors have a portico entrance usually adorned by a crescentic window above. Doors are six panelled. First floor woindows are similar in design and size to the ground floor because they are the bedrooms of the owners.High chimneys to ensure a good 'draw' when lighting fires. |

GEORGIAN
- SEDAN CHAIR PORCH.
If you were the owner of this house you probably owned a sedan chair which servants would use to carry you into town and back again. This owner has had a porch built with two through doors that allowed him to enter the sedan chair under cover and then to be carried away. |

GEORGIAN.
The last upper floor was usually the sleeping quarters of the resident servants. They worked in the basement and slept in the attic space. Hence the phrase 'upstairs,downstairs' to describe the life of a servant. The roof is tiled with slate. |
