what period is this house?

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

Good evening!, I'm trying to figure out the age my house. Here is an example house, all the houses down our road look similar to this with the same details on porch etc. Inside there are original covings, ceiling roses, ceiling mouldings etc, London stock bricks at the back of house. Inclined to say Edwardian however it's the tiles on the bay window that confuse me and makes me think they could have been built later, some houses have a tiled bay, some don't. Intrigued to find out which period or year. What do you think?

Not an expert but looks Edwardian to me.

Hanging tiles often feature on Edwardian houses. You may be able to find out through maps or local history society which years particular streets were built in.

The 'inglenook' fireplace - reminds me of my grandparents home where we would all congregate for high tea once a month. However, I have come across them in Scotland and in Cornwall, so perhaps they are more a 'Celtic' thing!

We have a bungalow with red brick border on brown windows with light grey granite sills and a sage green front door. Black slate roof tiles with red ridge tiles. First time to paint the house and looking for guidance on the best colour to paint exterior walls?

Have a look at your Deeds, it will give you a full timeline from the day it was built to you purchasing it, and all the owners in between, fascinating reading! Lovely looking house which could be Edwardian through to 1930s and has that lovely Arts & Crafts feel. If you have a mortgage the Deeds may be with your mortgage provider, but maybe they can give you a copy?

Good idea from Sonia. May not necessarily provide info back to construction if the house was built by an estate owner as worker accommodation. Our house deeds start in 1942 when it was sold by local landowner to fund death duties but it is much older than that and may date back to 1790-1800. We have a photo of it taken in 1890 when we think it may have just been refurbished.

No expert either but pretty sure it’s Edwardian. Pretty short time period as well between 1901 to the beginning of the First World War in 1914. The arts and crafts movement was also at this time and I think your house displays a lot of features of it including the hung tiles even if they were added at a later date. Very nice looking home:) some more info here: https://www.propertyinvestmentsuk.co.uk/edwardian-houses-make-ideal-property-to-renovate/ Agree with having a look at the deeds, fascinating stuff. Ours came with the house, built in 1897 for the foreman of the local quarry, even had gas lighting, very upmarket for this area:-).
