Different Styles of Houses - Terraced House

As I have been looking around at different houses I have noticed the difference in space and layout between the different properties from a flat to a bungalow and even terrace houses. There are houses which as soon I looked at, I felt at home and some houses just didn’t feel like ‘home’. I had a good look at a range of houses though as it is always best to view a range to see what you can get for your money and see where you can make use of any sliding door wardrobes.

Terraced House
This style of house tends to be popular as they are affordable and quite common. This style tends to be associated with areas close to a city or town centre. This is not always the case mind, but a lot of areas close to a town or city will host a lot people who can make use of public transport. Unfortunately the style and interior design planning can vary, with some terrace houses having one large living area and some having two small living areas and a kitchen on the end of the property.

These houses tend to create a ‘long’ style with rooms going backwards, rather than side by side with a hallway or any reception rooms. These houses will continue upstairs with narrow stairs and bedrooms. Bear this in mind when looking at furniture, especially purchasing anything new like wardrobes with sliding doors as these might not fit up the hallway.

The only problem I have found with a lot of terraced house style accommodation is the lack of parking. A lot of the houses will be close to public transport routes so homeowners will not need to worry about car parking spaces. This is something that I have found, so if you have a car consider car insurance when you are looking at your next home.
