Five To View: Georgian Townhouses

An architectural classic this week: the Georgian Townhouse.

Of course, given that there were several King Georges, the Georgian period lasted for well over a hundred years, starting – logically – with George I’s reign, which began in 1714, and ending with the death of George IV in 1830.

Styles of architecture changed during this long period, naturally, but there are several hallmarks of the quintessential Georgian townhouse that we still recognise today, such as the double hung sash windows, hooded entrances and decorative fanlights above the front door.

Admittedly, their timeless elegance doesn’t come cheap - but these desirable properties tend to hold their value well.  Here are five fine examples to drool over:
