My home- my castle

There are four basic types of housing

a detached house a terraced house a semi-detached house

a block of flats

Detached house

a mansion

a cottage

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.

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 in Europe.

Terraced house

Terraced housing is also known as townhouses. The origin of this type of dwelling was in the 17th century in Europe. A row of identical looking houses share side walls.

Block of flats

A flat or an apartment is a part of a larger building. Such building is called an apartment building or a block of flats. A flat can be a studio unit, a one-bedroom, two-bedroom or three-bedroom unit. It’s the cheapest type of dwelling in a town.

Bungalow

Unlike other countries, the British Bungalow does not have verandas. Such a refuge appeals to those who do not like to run up and down the stairs. Nowadays, one-story bungalows are included in multifunctional country and urban projects.

Skyscrapers

In 2014, The Tower - One St. George Wharf was erected in London. The height is 180 meters, and the number of floors is 50. At the moment it is the tallest residential building in London.

THAT`s All!!!
