My house in Surrey and several others around me were built in the Edwardian era 1900-1910 and they are all single glazed. The windows are made of timber with very attractive moulding around it. Most double glazed windows are made of PVC (plastics) and they look very plain. Double glazed timbers windows are extremely expensive.

All the previous homes I lived in had mould fungus growth on walls and behind wall papers. The double glazing ensured air-tight house but lack of air circulation. Single glazed windows seem to be really good at preventing mould growth, of course at the extra cost of heating bills.
