You bought a house without being sure what era it was even from?
Ballsy.

A 60s house could well have floorboards but they would look different to Victorian floorboards which are quite distinctive. One reason for this is that due to the Victorian building boom there was a pine shortage, so a lot of pine was shipped over from Canada. Working out what sort of pine you've got might therefore shed some light.
I also suspect some 60s houses were built with fireplaces. You'd be better off looking for distinctively Victorian building methods but it might just be easier to look at old maps and see when your place first existed.
