The types of houses
People used to live in caves. Later they lived in castles. We live in houses or blocks of flats.
There a few different types of houses:
- detached,
- semi-detached,
- terraced
- flats.
I like socialising so my favourite one will be a flat in a huge block of flats.
England has many types of homes. In the large cities, people often live in apartments, which are called flats.
In most towns, there are streets of houses joined together in long rows.
- They are several houses joined together and called terraced houses.
- Detached: it is a house, which is not joined to another house.
- Semi-detached: it is a house, which is joined to another house on one side; or two houses joined.
- Flats: they are part of a bigger building where all the flats share a front door; they are called “apartments” in American English.
- Bungalow: it is a house, which is only on one floor, no stairs. It may be joined to another bungalow or might stand-alone.
The most popular type of home in England is semi-detached (more than 27% of all homes), closely followed by detached then terraced.
My ideal house is a private big three rooms one and some land for kitchen garden and some fruit trees. There will not much furniture which is build in.
In conclusion, I’d like to say that it doesn’t matter what house you live in, it matters how comfortable you made it, feel relaxed and safe.
