Unfortunately this can no longer be built, anywhere. It either exists (and should be protected, and not turned into highrises) or it doesn’t.

Also shouldn’t ever tear down Georgian or Victorian terraced housing to replace with higher density buildings, because those can similarly not be replaced, unless you can charge £2+ million per house to justify the build costs. There is some new build housing near me that does a decent (albeit not perfect) approximation of Georgian housing, but the area has the prices to support it.
