Has this house been re-plastered or just had wallpaper removed?

My wife really likes the job these guys have done; the price is way above what we can afford but I would like to achieve a similar look.

what would I need to do to make a house like #2 look like #1 ( we are sale agree in a different area but it's a useful comparison)

Would you just have to strip the wallpaper or was there replastering done - obviously the fireplace etc has been done 

thanks

I would say when you strip the wall paper you might find the walls in a bad state.
Some houses of that era are wallpapered directly onto plasterboard.
You could be lucky though, you won't know until you remove the paper.
if it was plastered well originally and you take your time stripping you could be left with a nice surface

That house has been Completely Re-Skimmed with plaster

The timber rail/border attached to the wall about half way up, generally doesn't come off easy, and takes plaster with it
