What is a "well fath'd house"? 7 August 1731 Newcastle Courant

[Davedrave]

For the wealthy, windows could have been a selling point or even a status symbol.

Yes, that’s a good point.

[Charlie Bucket]

Also in the advertisement the apostrophe is used in place of 'e" in accustom'd and liv'd.

[Dulaigh]

sited ...saited. ?

Possibly ‘sashed’?

OED adj. first defn. “Provided or constructed with a sash or sash windows.”

I go with "sash'd" - the "f" is an example of the long "s".

Corrected for you!
There is no cross-piece on the long-s.

I was aware there is no cross piece in the pure long "s" - plenty of threads on this site about the subject.
The printed originals I was transcribing show "f" eg fafhed. However, for emphasis I converted the "f" to "f" italic - I wasn't attempting to reproduce the long "s". Will highlight in bold f next time!!

From the Newcastle Journal of June 14th, 1751, we learn that 'The Whaggs,' near Whickham, was 'a new-built house of hewn stone, well-sash’d,' an expression often used in the advertisements of this period, 'wherein Mrs. Barras lately dwelt,'
