Why do we have semi detached houses?

I still feel embarrassed from when we lived in one and had some visitors
from the USA. They asked why we had two front doors.


Cost of land and cost of houses.

They are CHEAP. and actually more energy efficient.





We lived in a Victorian mid-terraced house years ago and
used to joke that we didn't need any heating because the
neighbours on each side kept us warm. After moving from
there to a detached property the heating bills were
something of a shock.
