Here I think a basement is quite rare, except for some of the bigger
houses both in the town and country.

Quite a few houses have cellars.

Ah, are you being specific re a cellar rather than a basement as I was
referring to them as being the same sort of thing (some level of space
under a house).

I was confused. Is the distinction being made that a basement is
habitable? (FSVO "habitable")

I had an uncle whose house had a basement & sub-basement. The house was
built on steep ground.
