Architecture: Edwardian Terraced House

This is a model of an Edwardian Terraced House built in the UK between 1901 and 1910. In fact, it is the house in which I was born and raised in Leicester.

The Edwardian period was short (only 9 years) but marked a peak in British building standards. Several million homes were built in Britain during this period and this terraced house is a typical example of the architecture of the era. Edwardian properties display a heavy Arts and Crafts Movement influence; carved features are common, along with more decorations on building exteriors.

On this model you can see many of the main characteristics of an Edwardian property:

  • A decorative porch with two Roman-style columns
  • Bay windows with large sash windows (below) and multi-panels (above)
  • Mock-Tudor cladding and painted timbers toward the top of the house
  • Hanging tiles above the windows
  • Red brickwork
  • A small tiled front garden set back from the pavement
  • A prominent chimney
