    This would be roughly my thoughts on the definition of a bungalow.

    But there again what estate agents call a villa sometimes leaves me speechless.....:rotfl:

    There's a magic word in there "typically", that doesn't mean it has to be fully detached.
  • My OH insists we live in a semi detached even though it's an end terrace of 4 houses, lol, he just thinks it sounds better and he says its only attached on one side = semi-detached. Daft 'appeth. I guess some people just like to believe what they want to believe at the time.
    Cash not ash from January 2nd 2011: £2565.:j

    OU student: A103 , A215 , A316 all done. Currently A230 all leading to an English Literature degree.

    Any advice given is as an individual, not as a representative of my firm.

    I suppose we all have something in our mind's eye and get slightly thrown when others don't have the same image.

    I would just call two together a semi 3 or more a terrace.

    Anyway regardless the OP is really clutching at straws.

    OP, I don't think you really have a problem.

    People buy houses on the basis of what they think about them overall, not on a technicality on the naming of the type.

    Unless you want to sell your house to Hyacinth Bucket people are going to decide what they feel it is worth on what they see and what a survey says, not on whether it is technically SD or EOT.

    Or to look at it another way, all EOT's are semi-detached.
    There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.
