Most of the surfaces are original (floors, tiles, bath fittings, kitchen cabinets) and have had over 70 years of use. In some places they are scratched or might appear dusty (e.g. edges of bathroom tiles and toilet base, hardwood floors). Please appreciate the patina and be reassured that all surfaces have been well cleaned.
