"Houses
- a detached house stands alone and is not joined to any other house
- a semi-detached (duplex in USA) house is joined to another house on one side
- a terraced house is part of line of houses that are all joined together
- a block of flats is a tall modern building that is divided into flats
- a cottage is small house in a village or in the country. Cottages are usually old buildings and often very attractive
- a bungalow is a house with only one floor and no upstairs. Bungalows are usually modern buildings, popular with elderly people who find stairs hard
In Britain families like to live in houses rather than in flats or apartments (´apartments´ is American English). 78% of people live in houses and only 21 %live in flats (in big cities) (in CZ 50% - 50%). Most houses are made of brick. Many people live in two stores terraced or semi-detached houses. Sometimes when people get older they move to a bungalow which is house with only one storey. A country cottage which is made of stone or a mansion is only a dream for most people. A lot of people own their own homes but almost nobody in England builds his own house. Instead of people normally buy their houses either from commercial builders or the people who are already living there. The buying and selling of houses is big business in England. You can find estate agents and building societies on every High Street. While there are many people who rent their homes, it is the dream of most people in England to own their own home, about 70% of English do this, much more than in most other European countries. If you want to buy or sell house you go to an estate agent. People usually borrow money from the building society (that builds houses). In order to pay for their house – this money is called mortgage – is often paid back over 25 years. If you rent your house or flat, you pay money (= the rent) to a landlord or landlady (you are the tenant), you have to keep the time of paying. There can be many problems with children, pets… with landlords… Maintenance…
A typical sight in built-up areas is a street full of terraced-houses. These are joined to their neighbours on both sides and from the outside resemble one long building. They often front straight on the street, occasionally they have small front gardens. At the back they either have a small garden or paved yard. In the Victorian period a terraced house represented style of house that was in a row. This style was often use for workers housing in industrial districts during the great industrial boom. Many of them were destroyed in favour of the tower block.
Another type of house you often see in towns and cities is the semi-detached house. These are joined to the neighbouring house only on one side, so that they stand together in pairs. They very often have gardens both front and back. These houses sprang up in suburbs and were popular with middle class home owners. "
