9 impressive Edwardian homes that offer tons of space
The Edwardian era only lasted from 1901 to the start of the First World War in 1914 but coincided with a boom in housebuilding. Homes from this period are typically bigger and brighter than their Victorian predecessors, with fewer but larger rooms, wider hallways and good-sized gardens, making them ideal for families. They are often set back from the road, and may incorporate stained glass windows, mock-Tudor beams, panelling and other decorative details. Here's our pick of the best on the market. A four-bedroom, 2,000 square foot semi-detached house with views over the Firth of Forth. The versatile accommodation includes an eat-in kitchen, a formal dining room, a first floor drawing room, a downstairs morning room — currently used as bedroom four — and original features such as fireplaces, tiles and ornate cornices. From Stevenson Marshall via ESPC. Oaklands is a sensitively renovated, feature-filled detached house that's only had three owners since it was built in 1904.

There are two adjacent outbuildings — one a double garage and the other an office. From Baker Wynne Wilson.
