Types of Houses. Викладач Яблуневська О. О. Юрівська ЗОШ 1-3 ступенів

There are four basic types of housing:a detached housea terraced house / a townhouse a semi-detached housea block of flats. It must be understood that a detached house can take on any form or style. It does not matter if the house is a bungalow, a cottage or a mansion. As long as it is not joined to another house, it is a detached house. One advantage of a detached house is the fact that the free  space  surrounding the building belongs to the family. You can do whatever you would like to be done in your house. The disadvantage is that all  repairs  in the house should be made by the  owner.

A house that is detached is not connected to any other building.

terraced houses. Terraced housing is also known as townhouses. The origin of this type of dwelling was in the 17 th  century in Europe. A row of identical looking houses share side walls. In the past, terrace housing used to be only associated with the working class for this type of housing was cheap, small and had very little privacy. As time went by, terrace housing became known as townhouses which were more associated with the rich.

A terraced house is joined to the houses on either side of it by shared walls.

Residential high-rise buildings are also known as tower blocks and may be referred to as "MDUs", standing for "multi-dwelling unit". A very tall high-rise building is referred to as a skyscraper. High-rise buildings became possible with the invention of the elevator (lift). It’s the cheapest type of dwelling in an urban areas. Besides among advantages of living in a block of flats it takes less time to tidy up a flat than a house. But a flat has its disadvantages: your neighbors can make a lot of noise, when they, for example, hammer or drill the wall, or when they organize a party. It isn't convenient, but the largest part of population in our country lives in blocks of flats.block of flats

 A block of flats  is a large building that has a lot of flats where people live. A block of flats 

semi-detached house. A semi-detached house is a pair of houses that  share  one common wall. The two houses are built to mirror each other. Interestingly enough, this type of housing is called a duplex in other parts of the world. Now the semi-detached house is still the most popular type of housing. One advantage of living in a semi-detached house is that there is still some  privacy  even if one wall is shared by the two houses. A disadvantage is that you are  responsible for the upkeep of your side of the house. Another disadvantage is that you cannot just plan repairs or  renovations as you have to consider your twin house.
