    True (Traditional?) semi = 1 of 2 houses joined together
    Quasi-semi = either end of a bank of 4 houses
    Terraced semi = either end of a longer bank of houses

    anything else is likely to be about the style / age of the property..


    You learn something every day , i own a Quasi Semi , wait till i tell the wife
    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

    If you are doing a search for something similar, you are looking for a 1930s-style traditional semi with integral garage (ie not an 'attached' garage, this is part of the structure of the house - if you took it away part of the house would fall down).

    The half storey is the one upstairs. It would be a two storey house if upstairs rooms were not built into roof space, ie upstairs had full straight walls.

    What makes you think this house's upstairs rooms are built into the roof? Doesn't look like it to me. At worst there might be a small angle on the left side rooms if the roof cuts the corner of the room but I don't think it does even that.

    It's a two storey house, not one and a half.

    If you imagine a line from top to bottom next to the front door it's just a normal semi. The builder have just chosen to slope the garage roof to give more character and make it look more like an integral part of the house than a flat roof would have.
