Introduction to

This is a terrace house, also known as a row house, also known as a brownstone, also known as a workhouse.

There are millions of these houses all around the world as they save on materials, and make good use of ground area and so they were constructed mostly within urban areas.

When they built it they go one then there is a wall dividing it and it's neighbor that's called the party wall and then they mirror the layout of the house to its neighbor and then they mirror it again and again and again, all the way up the street.

A terrace house in the UK is typically two stories high with a roof. The ground floor the first floor, and the loft space was left unhabited. Good for storage and regulating the heat in the house as it captures heat from the rooms below.

The beauty of this means that the layout within all the houses when they were built are almost identical. The fact that their mirrored. This continues along the whole row of houses until you get to the end and things get a little more difficult but for our purposes the houses in the middle of a terrace are all identical.

Layout

Inside a terrace house the layout is usually this. You enter through the front door walk through a corridor and in front of you you have stairs leading to the first floor. To the side you have a lounge to the front and a Dining to the rear.

On the first floor, you have bedrooms and a bathroom.
To the front you have 2 rooms or one larger room across the width of the house.
To the rear you have another bedroom and a bathroom. It's location depends on where the stairs are -
- If the staircase is positioned mid-length you typically have a bathroom to the rear beyond the stairwell
- If the staircase is positioned rear-length you typically have an annex to the rear to house the bathroom.

extension will have been turned into an indoor space access from indoors into a kitchen at the back. They didn't extend right the way across the building, so you still need a window to let light into the dining room. But recent renovations might have built right the way across and you have one large interior space.

Structurally

Not all the walls carry the weight of floor joists and walls. Typically the load-bearing walls are -
- the front and rear external walls
- the central wall across the width, separating the front and rear rooms
- the partywalls help carry the weight of the roof through the purlins and the ridgeboard at the top of the roof.
