  The
new form of housing on the estate, maisonettes, had two or three bedrooms.
The two bedroom maisonettes sit on
top of each other in four storey blocks, while the larger three bedroom
ones are placed above shops or small
studio flats. Pressure on space in the flats and maisonettes meant that
the bathroom and WC were usually in the same room. In both types of residence
a balcony was provided. Unlike the estates built before the Second World
War, some houses were built with garages,
or with access to one that could be rented. |
