The town's 1930s semi-detached homes often have compact but well-proportioned rooms that benefit from clever storage solutions and painted timber finishes. Soft coastal colours — pale blues, sage greens, and warm creams — enhance the seaside setting, while solid brass or aged pewter hardware adds period authenticity.
