Like this example built in 2012 to match the original victorian properties (check the history on streetview)

This and rogans comment below it balance up the opposite ends of a lot of 'modern' developments.
So many of the 80/90/00 properties I see seem to have no character, the wishy washy copies of Victorian (etc) property some vague hints a a style long past with none of the actual detail.
Box shape with a bit of timber framing
Box shape with columns by the door.I'm sure it was done because it's too expensive to actually copy all the details now, which would be fine if you just accepted that and tried something else instead.
The property in that photo look like care and attention has been put into it to make it match.
In a way I don't mind some of the more wacky 80s stuff that was near where I grew up as at least it was trying to be its own thing.
