Probably on boards concealing spindles. There was a thing in the 50s and 60s to put plywood over doors, fireplaces and staircase spindles and people are now removing these bits of plywood.

Not just the 50s and 60s. When my parents bought their 1930s semi in the mid 1970s one of the first things they did was to box in the staircase spindles (which they then painted rather than wallpapered) and to cover the lovely original internal doors with sheets of hardboard. Seems my mum thought it was 'more modern' - and would cut down on the dusting.

What the inside decor ?


The only benefit I see is the beach is close.

No, the cost. You mentioned 'half a million' quite a few times, and the vast majority of houses in that area that cost this much are significantly smaller (of course the decor makes up for that).

I dread to think how many coats of paint will be required to cover this lot up

I'm confused. It's two storeys at the back, and on the floorplan, but three storeys at the front.

Is that just a skylight, to let light in onto the landing?
