They're known as cottage flats in Greater Manchester as well. Usually local authority, 1950s builds. Maisonettes are less likely to be local authority built, in my experience.user1977 said:
No, you're completely wrong there - they were built as four-in-a-block flats, very common around Glasgow, typically called upper/lower cottage flats (probably "maisonettes" in English parlance) - own front door, private bit of the garden.anotheruser said:

what the hell is that?!
Why not just say it for what it is - a house that's been split by some greedy doorknob into two flats, when clearly it was buit as a house, meaning the poor person who has to live there as they can't afford anywhere else has an absolutely awful quality of life.

Apart from this one's "interesting" decor, not sure what you think is wrong with it?0 -
