It looks like you’re listing various types of housing configurations. Here’s a quick breakdown of what each term typically means:

1. Semi-Detached

• A semi-detached house shares one wall with another house.

• Each home is a mirror image or nearly so, and they are usually on separate lots.

• Common in suburbs.

2. Semi-Detached Cottage

• A semi-detached cottage is a smaller, often older or quaint house, joined to another by one wall.

• Retains a “cottage” style (typically cozy, with character), but part of a pair.

3. Semi-Detached Duplex

• A duplex generally means two units in one building.

• A semi-detached duplex implies one side of a duplex is attached to another unit, forming a pair of duplexes joined by a wall.

• Could be interpreted as a duplex that is one half of a semi-detached building.

4. Semi-Detached Flats

• A flat is a self-contained housing unit (like an apartment).

• Semi-detached flats likely refers to a building split into flats that shares one wall with another similar building.

• Less common phrasing, but used in some regions to indicate converted houses or buildings.

5. Single Detached

• Also known as a detached house or standalone house.

• It is not connected to any other dwelling.

• Offers the most privacy and space, usually on its own plot.
