my house doesn't have a trace of it
which is excellent, but that's because it's fairly large and was built by the Victorians, who knew how to build houses.

The Victorians really knew their stuff.
Anything with iron or brick and they were your lads.

definitely
none of the walls are straight, but that doesn't really matter

Yeah, I'd much rather have a smaller, Victorian house
than one of these cheaper, flatpak new ones.

I have the luxury of having a good sized Victorian house
I remember sitting down on the sofa in my living room for the first time and noticing that the ceiling is higher than the room is wide.

gotta love high ceilings

I love that. I am pretty tall, so I tend to feel pretty hemmed in with most modern housing.
First time I set foot in a flat converted from a Victorian townhouse, I fucking loved it.
