Is this an ex council house? Pic attached

[Cuc]

The listing says it’s an Edwardian home…but were most council homes built later?

I’d say that is a council house. Looks like the ones where I live anyway. Quite well built usually.

Council. Or “coal board” maybe if you’re in a former mining town.

There were lots of private estates built for factories and workers in the 20s-50s. My DD lives in one- it doesnt look dissimilar from the nearby council houses but bigger gardens and drives. You rented them with your job or you could buy but they were leasehold.

It looks like one to me

Doesn’t look remotely Edwardian to me.

Looks the image of our ex- LA estate, built in the 1920s

This is definitely not Edwardian, it's newer than that

Yes, and I think that was likely to have been built in the 1950s.

Agree it doesn’t look Edwardian. Edwardian houses are more similar to Victorian in style

Maybe they mean Prince Edward 😂

Yes looks very similar to the council properties in my area. Very well built and seemed to last longer than terraced houses. They also have a great deal of storage. I was shocked at a friend telling me how she had a pantry and 2 airing cupboards and an understairs cupboard in her house, there was a great deal of space

I reckon that's post-war not Edwardian!

Could well be 30s rather than 50s. My Grandad had a v similar one which was early 30s. Guess that might be Edward VIII if it was built in 1936 . . . Yy to fab storage.

Yes

Edwardian? - that looks post-1945 or inter-war rather than pre-1914.

I'd pay very close attention to the roof. Those concrete tiles are of a lot later vintage, they were often fitted to replace slates or pantiles. They're a lot heavier than the materials they replaced and you can often spot structural sagging on roofs fitted with them.

Almost certainly council housing - 1920/30s. Check if it’s solid wall construction (it probably is) as this can often lead to problems with condensation. Apart from, they were generally very well built, quite spacious inside but with decent sized gardens.

Doesn't look remotely Edwardian. Could be ex council and probably quite spacious inside, I know ours is 😁much, much bigger rooms than a new build

It could be late edwardian to be fair, but yes I’d say that was council.

Why does it matter?

I'd be very surprised if that property is Edwardian. It looks council house to me. That being said, when I was house hunting I viewed many council houses, because they're generally well built, relatively spacious with good storage.

Given that it looks pretty much identical to umpteen council houses on a variety of estates I’ve seen, I’d say yes. That’s definitely a council or ex-council property.

It’s not what I’d think of as Edwardian. The Edwardian style lasted until around 1920, I think - so if it was one of the very first council houses built (1919?) then it could, at a big push, be described as Edwardian I suppose.

Looks later to me, inter-war at earliest I’d guess but I’m no expert. The big estate my DF lived on was built in the 50-60’s and the houses look like this one.

Edwardian! Christ Almighty! Best estate agent jargon I've heard for years!

And yes, it is an ex council house, but the old ones are very roomy

Not the OP, but:

Sometimes they come with odd restrictions that conveyancers balk at. And they are harder to sell.

Do they mean Edward the 8th? Because that's the only possible way that house is Edwardian!

Edwardian denotes 1901 - 1910. No way is the house pictured from that time. 20+ years later than that!
