Chorley has the housing mix you would expect for an area of its size and history. Older period property near the centre runs on timber doors with mortice locks, much of it now retrofitted with cylinder upgrades. Post-war estate housing through the central residential streets is mostly uPVC stock now after retrofit during the 1990s and 2000s.
