Eaves disappeared in Melbourne as an attempt to lower the cost per square. They are returning as the shading effect is required in FirstRate etc..
In my opinion decorative or colonial bars on the windows are going out of fashion. I know they suit this design of home but these days you see full height sashes as one piece of glass without bars. If this is single glazed then the bars are on the outside of the glass and they can collect dirt. But the home will look great either way... as long as you keep them clean.
