Yes, basements. Large plots. Shutters. Mullioned windows. Turrets. Conservatories. Large trees in the garden. High ceilings. Real parquet flooring. ... My son's son-in-law even has a small bell tower or bell tower attachment on the roof of his house. :) You just have to like it, new buildings also have their advantages.
Most of this you can easily build today. Mullioned windows, conservatory bays, parquet flooring can be found in any prefab house catalog. I would rather advise against shutters, those things are extremely impractical. But you can also have them installed as a fake, someone in the garden thread had that ;) Trees, as I said, are difficult to transplant when large. But on the other hand, in existing properties, trees are often not planted in suitable locations, and I would find it a shame to fell such trees. But in the next storm, a branch could crash onto the house, and I don't want that. I think bell towers belong more to the realm of special architect houses. They are also rare in old houses. I don't see it as everything was better before. Unnecessary corners, turrets, etc., used to be expensive, too.
