What is a semi-detached house - all the features and benefits of this type of housing

townhouse in a literal translation - "town house".In fact, this kind of a mini complex consisting of several separate apartments (as they may have separate entrances) in low-rise building.Such buildings are buildings of medium and economy class and began to actively be erected in our country since the mid 90-ies of the last century.

in settlements even with a small population townhouses immediately apparent, as we have for some reason they are based mostly on the principle of modular construction.These houses resemble a specific tape, consisting of "cubes" under the common roof.Although it is not the only solution for the architectural structures of this type, as originally they were detached houses, which settled the aristocracy.

Now, many lenders offer loans for the purchase of villas, but all of us are clear, what is it?Try to understand.

To describe modern townhouses in terms of liveability and a number of other parameters, they are - a cross between a city apartment and a private home.The owner of each living space in addition to the "square meter" (an average of 120 to 280 m²) and receives a small piece of land (up to 4 acres) on the adjacent territory.

Still, the main difference is that all the individual apartments in townhouses - layered (usually no more than 3 floors).In the context of the usual high-rise building it is almost impossible to do.In some cases, to combine room 2 adjacent, it requires a lot of time permits and a lot of money (to develop the project for reconstruction of + its implementation by specialists).If you are interested in this topic, read about more redevelopment.

Traditionally 1st floor townhouse is usually assigned to different economic and utility rooms - kitchen, toilet and bathroom;sometimes "bottom" is placed the living room.But the upper floors are reserved for bedrooms, nurseries, offices, libraries, ie, spaces intended for recreation or creative activity.Although each of them must have a toilet.

Another advantage of the townhouse is that all utilities, let down to the structure (sewerage, gas and water) are common, while in private houses stretching their individual "threads".Therefore, for every individual apartment owner operation and maintenance (repair) of highways is much cheaper.

Thus it is necessary to take into account that such apartment buildings located in urban areas, have advantages over a country cottage in the fact that they allow the owners without any restrictions to use all the "benefits of civilization" - Internet, cable TV, central gas supply.And, if necessary, repair services representatives will arrive on call much more quickly, regardless of the time of year, whereas in rural areas the winter in this area - it's time the long and sometimes vain expectations.

Conclusion

• Townhouse is great for people who do not have the financial capacity to build your house.
• Such housing - perfect for those who love peace and privacy.You can even install a fireplace for more comfort.Lack of common stairwells eliminates the communication with neighbors, on a variety of interesting questions such as "Who is it you come at night" or proceedings, whose turn it is to screw a light bulb on the floor.
