Many of such homes modified their frontage beyond recognition....

I like the concaved balconiesformedby two halves ofeach of the semi-detached homes.
From the photos:-
1. There are twosemi-detached homes.
2. The oneon the right is the original profile. Where if one looks closely, there is an open balcony that curvesinwards.
3. In this same photo; the house on the right hadtotally enclosed the balcony into a living quarters.
4. Today, many of thehomes were modified beyond the above designs. And such an iconic look has been ... lost...
5. Many of such semi-detached homes did Alternations & Additions (A & A works) to create two new bedrooms (see attachment i.e. become bedroom 3 and 4 on the second storey) where the balcony is.

This bungalow is located at Mountbatten Road.

In the past around the 1950's bungalows in this area is around 9,500 sq feet.

This design can also be found at Greenleaf area Rd / Dr / View. But usually split into half I.e. Semi-detached homes.

For the Mountbatten Road example; the balcony's arch curves outwards. But for the sample layout plan of Greenleaf as shown in the earlier thread; the arc curves inwards; not outwards. More of the same theme.
