Thanks to all for the clarification of what the 'Victorian' style means outside the UK. I suppose that the British should feel flattered that the label has been exported, albeit often to describe a house whose age is often anything but 19th century and possibly with features not found on the typical British Victorian house.
Just for possible interest and illustration, I attach a pic of the front elevation of my house. (Yes, I know that the pointing needs some attention!) The depth is almost twice the width shown. Quite typical of its age; very similar houses (detached, semi-detached or terraced) are found everywhere, although the number of storeys and overall size varies. Indeed, this semi is unique in our road; all others of similar age, although mostly semis, have different configurations, sometimes with a cellar but very few with a basement.
