Q1: What was the difference between an upper middle class home and a lower middle class home?

[Answer]

In Victorian times, homes went with class.

The upper middle classes lived in villas – detached houses with drives and stable blocks in the country, or grand town houses in the city.

But most of the middle class were lower middle class. They lived in the newly built suburbs of terrace houses. They signified they were middle class because they called them villas and their terrace homes were bay-fronted – not flat fronted like the working class.
