A detached house is the most common type of house. It is entirely free-standing from neighbouring houses and usually has land, especially a garden, around its perimeter. The detached house is often conveyed as a stereotypical house by media and literature. Simple drawings of houses are usually of a two-storied detached house with a door, window and chimney.
Various types of detached houses include:
- Bungalows, which are single-storied houses.
- Backsplit houses, which are multi-storied at the back but appear single-storied at the front.
- Frontsplit houses, which are multi-storied at the front but appear single-storied at the back.
- Slidesplit houses, which are multi-storied at the front.
- Linked houses, which are built with joined foundation to save costs but appear to be separate free-standing houses.
- Mansions, which are large expensive homes, including palaces occupied by wealthy individuals.
