The Humble Terraced House: A British Favourite
With 6,196,793 terraced homes across the UK—making up 23.2% of all properties—the terraced house has long been a staple of British living. From classic Victorian rows to modern townhouses, these homes have stood the test of time, offering charm, character, and practicality.
