This article was published on May 7, 2024

The Edwardian period, lasting from 1901-1910, was a short, art inspired period, following on from a rise in property construction in the Victorian era. Edwardian homes were constructed with simple designs, with an appreciation for handmade craftsmanship, these homes were designed with a light and airy feel to them. With a focus on larger gardens, Edwardian properties were mainly built with red brickwork in suburban areas, and are known for being wider and larger than Victorian homes, and have larger hallways, more windows.
