Choosing a home that fits your lifestyle and needs is an important decision. To make the best choice, it’s helpful to understand the different types of homes available. Below, we’ve outlined the main options for you.
Apartments
An apartment is a home within a larger building, where you own your private space and share communal areas with other residents. Some common types of apartments include:
Studio: A compact home with one space that serves as a living, sleeping, and cooking area, plus a separate bathroom.
Maisonnette: An apartment with multiple floors connected by an internal staircase.
Penthouse: A luxurious apartment on the top floor of a building, often with a large rooftop terrace.
Gallery Flat: An apartment in a building where units are accessed via a shared external gallery.
Portico Flat: A flat with a shared staircase (portico) providing access to the units.
Single-Family Homes
These homes are designed for one household and offer plenty of space. Options include:
Mid-Terrace House (Row House): A home situated between other houses in a row, sharing walls on both sides.
End-Terrace House: A home at the end of a row, often with extra outdoor space on one side.
Semi-Detached House: Two homes connected by a single shared wall, each with its own garden and often a shared driveway.
Detached Homes
Detached homes stand independently and offer maximum privacy. Examples include:
Townhouse: A stately home with multiple floors, often found in urban areas.
Villa: A spacious, luxurious home with a large garden.
Bungalow: A single-story home with no stairs, ideal if you prefer everything on one level.
Special Types of Homes
In addition to standard housing options, there are unique alternatives, such as:
Houseboat or Floating Home: A home on the water, permanently moored in one location.
Mobile Home: A portable home, often situated on a fixed site.
Farmhouse: A former farm building converted into a home with lots of character.
Live-Work Home: A house with integrated space for a business or practice.
