Housing in EnglandIn England there are exactly four types of houses to live in:
•
Detached houseA house that isn’t
attached to another house. While in the countryside this is the most common form of housing it is real luxury in the city.
•
Semi-detached houseBasically two households in one building. Semi-detached houses are very common in any city’s
outskirts.
•
Terraced houseRows of
identical-looking houses. Terraced houses are found in every city, some look
fancy and some look
shabby.
•
FlatUnits within big buildings. There are
pricey apartments and horrible
tower blocks.
What’s interesting here? Housing is very much about people’s
social class. In cities detached houses are for the rich and semi-detached and terraced houses are for the middle class while working-class families usually live in terraced houses or flats.
