Extremely silly comment. Technology etc aside, Barratt Homes and the like are cheaper and nastier than standard Victorian terraces.
Ordinary Victorian home off the first page of Google. Look at the windows in comparison. Yes I know there are horrible back-to-backs too but this one is perfectly typical.

Good luck with it!
The more work I do the more I find "retaining the character" is influencer double-speak for "we couldn't afford to replace it"... particularly when the original construction was pretty suspect to begin with! Victorian houses are not this hallowed typology everyone seems to make them out to be. They're the 19th century equivalent of todays Barrett boxes constructed quickly and cheaply with the materials and technologies of the time.
