Neil, go to villages in the Ribble valley, Yorkshire or down south and these properties are 'desirable cottages'. Put two together and you have a big, substantial house with a back yard/garden twice as big. Also some of those on the Woodnook photos do have small front gardens.Not everyone is bothered about a front garden as long as the street is fairly quiet.
A lot of terraces going up from the main road in Darwen have been modernised and sandblasted and look very 'desirable'.
If looked after and modernised these terraces will still be lived in long after the 60's/70's breeze block and plasterboard boxes have gone.
If you watch 'The Secret History of our Steets' you can see how slum properties have become £3 million pound properties- most of them don't have front gardens, in fact some didn't even have back yards!
