What are these types of houses called

When I saw your picture, I instantly thought of the Palladian style revisited in Calton Gardens, Bath.


Now I look properly, not enough doors....but hey, you could still have a career in architecture. After all, the person who designed these did.;)

They look like bog standard flats to me. Not masionettes as upstairs has a communal entrance.

I owned a purpose built ground floor Victorian property like this & they are generally known as maisonettes in most areas of London.

In the Walthamstow/Leystonstone area they are more often referred to as Warner flats, Warner being the original developer & built many such properties in the Victorian era in that part of east London.

My friend lived in a maisonette when we were kids. They were like a block of houses (two storey) with another house on top of each. Each one had an entrance door, the top storey had a balcony? to get to each front door.


Not sure if it's called a balcony but it was the full length of the whole building to get to the front door.

Around here, purpose built, and usually referred to as quarter houses.

A maisonette is an apartment on two floors with its own internal staircase. So I don't think this is a maisonette. It's just a purpose built flat isn't it, with the added bonus of its own entrance.

Isn’t that a house?

One up / one down flat if discussing in England.

Ground and upper villa if discussing in England.

A maisonette is a flat that has two liveable floors like a house.

With its own entrance.

I was brought up in the Midlands (England!) and, to me, a maisonette is a 2 floor dwelling on top of another property. Nothing to do with having its own front door.
