Essentially all 1930s/40s houses were in the same general style: two mirror image houses in one building. Sizes varied from one estate to another, and some had chalet-style roofs.
You would also see (cheaper) blocks built in threes or fours, but they were a similar layout inside.
Proportions were also dictated by standard bricks and standard window sizes as this was largely pre-pre-fab (late 40s to 70s) and the innovation that followed.

We live in a house exactly like the ones shown below. Ours is in Oxford, built in 1946, these ones below are in Ipswich, but I've seen very similar houses all over the country.
Ours was built by a local house builder, but presumably they weren't also working in Sheffield, Ipswich, Dagenham, etc.
Was there a kind of open-source plan that builders could purchase and replicate? If so, where and when did it begin?
