Terraced houses and semi detached houses

[europefranc]

Hi everybody!

How would you translate in Italian semi detached houses and terraced houses? It's typically British and I even don't know if it's correct to translate it....

Thanks a lot!

I try, but I'm not sure:
villette bifamiliari
case con terrazzo

A Terraced House is a house that has a terrace.

A Semi-detached house is one where two houses share one common wall.

These links probably describe the two types of houses a little better.

A terraced house is not a house with a terrace, at least not in Ireland and Britain. A terrace is a row of houses, all connected so that each house has two shared walls. A terraced house is just a house in a terrace.

Hi niall,
In Australia they are a row of attached house, all with terraces. They mean different things in different countries according to the Wikipedia link that I posted earlier.

In Italy we call them "villette a schiera" and they can be "bifamiliari" when they're built so that two of them share one wall or "singole" when they're actually builted in a row but each one is separated from the other.

I believe in BE a "terraced house" is a row of houses each of which shares a wall with its neighbor, as has been said -- except that the fronts are not even. Instead, the fronts are "stair-stepped" or "terraced." You don't see these often in the U.S. The houses in a row each sharing a common wall with its neighbor we'd call "row houses" or "town houses".

The houses on either end of the terrace (with one shared wall each) are called 'end terraces'. In a row of three houses connected the middle house would be the 'mid terrace'.

If there are more than two floors they are generally called 'town houses'.

Terraced house: "case a schiera"
Semi detached house: "casa bifamiliare", a volte semplicemente "bifamiliare", es. "ho comprato una bifamiliare in periferia"
