Houses in Great Britain
The majority of people in Great Britain prefer to live in houses and throughout the towns and villages across the country there are millions of different styles of houses, from the traditional country cottage to the modern red-brick house.
In cities and more urban areas however, people also live in blocks of flats as there is less space to build houses.
There are a number of different styles of houses which are popular in Great Britain.
A “detached house” tends to be situated in a residential area or the suburbs. It usually has two floor, a front and back garden and sometimes a garage for parking the car.
A “semi-detached house” is much like a detached house except that it is attached to another house. Both houses share a fence between their two gardens and each house is a mirror image of the other one.
Terraced houses are identical houses in a row. The first and last houses in the row are called “end terraces” and they are usually larger than the houses in the middle. They are most often found in urban areas where the streets are narrow.
A cottage is a small house situated in the countryside. Many cottages have little windows and thatched roofs. They are very characteristic houses which are full of charm.
