Terraced Houses and Semi-Detached Houses, both are in high demand by people these days. Well most of them find these two housing styles similar, they are different in a few aspects. Let’s take a quick look.
SHARED WALLS
Terraced houses are generally developed in rows. The houses share the walls with the neighbors. That is the house on the left and on the right will share walls with the one in the middle whereas, in Semi-detached houses, the walls are generally shared with only one neighbor that is, there is only one common wall. The house behind one is with which it shares its walls. So, Terraced Houses have two shared walls while the semi-detached house has just one wall in common. If you are a person who doesn’t like the noise and interference of others, then Semi-Detached will be the right choice.
AREA SPACE
Terraced Houses have a generally smaller area as compared to Semi-Detached Houses. If you are looking for a home with a bigger space then Semi-Detached Houses are perfect for you. While Terraced Houses have bigger bathrooms and kitchen, Semi-Detached House has bigger rooms.
COST
We are addressing this factor in the end but this is one of the most important factors. The house that you buy should be worth the amount you pay. Terraced Houses are comparatively cheaper than Semi-Detached Houses. So those who have a tight budget should consider Terraced Houses.
NOTE: Terraced Houses are build in rows. If you can find the one on the end of the block then that will be the best.
