Richard, are you being coy?
Those are gorgeous homes! Palaces!
A McMansion is a large house done quickly, with cheap low end fixtures and finishes.
Perhaps Britain has fewer than Australia, Canada, and the USA.
I even think Hyacinth Bucket's home is more tastefully done than many larger American homes are.
My parents first home where I grew up was built in 1943 for returning WW2 military buyers. While it was only 980 square feet on a basement, it had wet plaster, cove ceilings, cathedral arches in the lounge (living room) door way openings, nice mouldings and trim, red oak floors, and a nice ceramic tile bath, and kitchen. Also a bay window. The front door was heavy wood with 3 window panes at the top. We do not have doors closing off our living rooms from the rest of the house. Well, at least not swinging doors. Some quality homes in the 1950's had pocket doors between the kitchen, dining, and living rooms.
