A bay window
is a window space projecting outward from the main walls of a building
and forming a bay in a room, either square or polygonal in plan. The
angles most commonly used on the inside corners of the bay are 90, 135
and 150 degrees. Wikipedia A bay window creates the illusion of a larger room. It also maximizes the amount of light entering a room and offers a dryer alternative to a balcony.

Sash windows would often be painted in the Queen Anne style of white. The Arts & Crafts style would sometimes use metal casements set within stone surround called mullioned windows.

Oriel Windows A oriel window projects from the upper story of a building, supported on brackets or corbels.

"They are a good means of improving a view that is not too special but where the street has a pleasant view at the far end. Good examples are in seaside towns, where terraced houses may be crammed in a street but the view of the sea at the end is well worth seeing." Homebuilding & Renovating
