Is this house Victorian or Edwardian?

I’m talking about my grandma’s house. (I asked this question somewhere else and got 0 answers, so polls & surveys it the best for answers)
I think it’s late Victorian but my mum thinks it’s Edwardian.
Go to google earth and type in…
18 Hull Street, Richmond, Victoria.
The exact result is her house and look at the outside using the street view . Oh, yes, she’s moved out of the house and it’s empty now because it’s very, very, very sadly getting knocked down in two weeks.. . Stalk her all you want, you won’t find her!

Anyway, the front of the house is double fronted, door in the middle, two single sash windows to either side, a veranda, tin roof and decorative architraves around the door and windows. The original house was four rooms and a hallway, an outdoor kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet.

Walk through the front door, probably changed in the 60′s to a porthole door, into an hallway. In the middle of the hallway, there is a hallway arch which looks victorian to me, not the wooden edwardian kind, similar to this one…

On the left, you enter through a four panelled door (two top panels longer than the bottom), like this one…

…into the main bedroom, with single sash window, vented ceiling rose, like this one…

…and you can see where the chimney breast used to be, but all of them in the house were taken out in the 60′s. It has no cornicing but has detailed skirting boards. Go back out of the hallway and turn right is another bedroom, same stuff, sash window, you can see where the chimney breast was, four panelled door and ceiling rose. Go down the hallway, turn left, another bedroom, sash window, four panelled door, old chimney breast, no cornicing and an un-vented ceiling rose. Turn back into the hallway and turn right into a living room, no cornicing, ceiling rose, no door, like the other rooms. Go back into the hallway and go to the end where an extension was added in the early 70′s. My mum told me the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and toilet were all outside, if that helps. Then the extension connected the bathroom and kitchen to the main house.

Nothing great about the extension, just a long room. Then there’s the kitchen, which has a low ceiling height, and the bathroom which which is even shorter than the kitchen. Then outside, is the laundry which has an edwardian looking door and an old fireplace. There is the outside toilet which is just a toilet and a door made out of a few boards and nails.

The whole house is built out of brick but has weatherboard at the front. It looks very similar to this house…

but with no cast iron.

So what do you think?

Does anyone know what this is or how to find it?

A few years back I saw a mini mobil home for sale. It looked like a little rustic log cabin on the outside (sort of) but the inside had a living room with fireplace, a kitchen, bathroom, and then there was a bedroom/loft upstairs. I would like to purchase one but cannot find anything like it on the web.
It was approximately 50-75 feet long. It had outside paneling that resemebles a log cabin look. The guy selling it told me they were really popular up North. said lots of people use them for weekend getaways. It had a living room to the right when you walk in, it had a kitchen to the left, and it had a bathroom farther to the left. The stairs were right beside the kitchen. It was very small, but it was off of the ground by I would say 3 feet.

I have a small home on approx 2/3 acre. How do I get quotes for tear down&/or auctioneer for house materials?

I’m not sure if I should tear down the house and then sell the property. I have put money into the interior thinking I would stay. I bought new appliances (stove, dishwasher, washer & dryer), also a new furnace, hot water heater, light fixtures, new countertops in kitchen, bathroom vanity, air conditioner. Home has pella windows, 14 glass sliding doors, beamed ceiling, paneling, hardwood floors, 2 fireplaces, 3/4 brick exterior. Finished basement with bar. It’s only a 2 BR with 1 1/2 baths. It’s located in the Wood Dale area of Illinois near O’hare, on a dead end street, near expressways. Homes in the area are being torn down or added on to making much of the area larger newer homes. I have put up a For Sale sign just to get an idea of what people would pay. I need as much as I can get out of the property to live on. I need as much feed in as possible to do this. The house was built in 1954.
