The Humble Terraced House: A British Favourite
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.
But why do we love them so much? For many, terraced houses strike the perfect balance between affordability and space. They create a sense of community, with neighbours just a few steps away, and often sit in some of the most established and well-connected parts of our towns and cities. Whether you’re drawn to their period features, their efficiency in heating, or simply their place in British history, it’s no surprise they remain such a popular choice.
Across the UK, different regions have varying proportions of terraced homes:
- North West – 28.1%
- North East – 27.8%
