Houses can be built in a large variety of configurations. A
basic division is between free-standing or Single-family houses and various
types of attached or multi-user dwellings. Both sorts may vary greatly in scale
and amount of accommodation provided. Although there appear to be many
different types, many of the variations listed below are purely matters of
style rather than spatial arrangement or scale. Some of the terms listed are
only used in some parts of the English-speaking world.
