Over the last century, interior and exterior property design has been constantly changing, which has meant that many original features have been
covered up.
However, according to ratedpeople.com, restoring such fixtures and fittings - which may include arched doors and windows - Britons
could make the property more attractive to potential buyers when they decide to put it on the market.
And the group notes that if period
features have been removed altogether, consumers could hunt antique shops or salvage yards for a suitable replacement.
Ottokar Rosenberger,
sales and marketing director of Ratedpeople.com, stated: "The restoration of many period features is a job that can either be a labour of love
for the homeowner or a job for a specialist tradesman."
It was added that fireplaces, cornicing, ceiling roses, high skirting boards,
original floorboards and wooden banisters can all help to attract buyers.
However, Britons living in newer homes may also wish to inject
their property with older fixtures.
Arched doors and windows which feature double
glazing could provide a sense of period to a home, while not sacrificing on comfort.
