SUMMARY OF HOUSE STYLES
The following index to house styles broadly follows the
categorisation provided by Tom Affleck Greeves in "Bedford Park, the
first garden suburb", although additional sub-classifications have
been added (in capitals) to highlight the features of individual
properties from his descriptions. D = detached houses, SD = semi-detached, T = terraced, * = attribution only on stylistic or other evidence, ? = debatable attribution |
