What flooring and skirting typically look like in Combe Down

Combe Down has a wider mix — the village core is Victorian stone-built terraces, but the wider ridge is dominated by 1930s semis and post-war detached houses. Village core properties have suspended timber floors and original deep skirting; the wider ridge has standard subfloor and standard skirting.
