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

In our area the ex-council houses that look like this are inter war rather than post war. Solid brick walls.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I read your post above and it made sense.

I also don't see why it can't be Edwardian and social housing?! (But as someone who knows can you explain that?)

It is both. That’s what I was saying.

How can they last longer than terraced houses.?many terraces are Victorian.

Maybe they mean Prince Edward 😂

🤣🤣🤣 circa 1964

Interestingly, the surveyor says…probably 1930s! Will do more digging.

It looks like a 1930s council house to me.

I had one that looked like that without the pebbledash. 1906.
My current house everyone thinks is quite modern but was designed in 1913 but not built until 1922. Presumably because of the war intervening.
So Edwardian social housing is perfectly feasible.
And I believe the expert @ForfarFourEastFifeFive

have a google for historic mapping online, you might be able to work out from that roughly when it was built. There's some for England (assuming that's where it is) on here: Ordnance Survey Map records search - Map images - National Library of Scotland (nls.uk)

In case anyone’s still interested, finally found out it was built in 1927 @ForfarFourEastFifeFive

Yes, I would have said that it looks like an interwar build to me. The layout will be interesting, I always like to see how houses of each era are planned.

Doesn’t look remotely Edwardian to me.

Me either. Looks like the one I grew up in, which was built in 1975.
