Reply to: End terrace or mid?

I thought this was a question about the Viz Profanisaurus.

In which case I would much rather be "end of terrace".

Some end of terrace houses have gardens that adjoin a neighbouring side road.

I had one once. Wasn't fun sitting there in the summer listening to traffic going by.

So definitely mid terrace for me.

Now that you mention it I had an end terrace like that, and an inconveniently placed pot hole to boot. When an artic came past you could count how many axles it had.

Ba-dum - dum (single axled trailer)
Ba-dum - dumdumdum (triple axled trailer)

One of the few places I lived where I preferred a contract away from home.

I've sat through enough Kirsty Allsop shows to give you a qualified answer: end of terrace.

I personally like the window at the stairs as street light comes in during the night so I can see the stairs and the toilet door when I get up for a slash.

Maybe because there's only one wall or fence to bunk over?

No, that's most likely attributed to blind spots of gun turrets on the corner of the buildings

End terraces are more likely to be targeted by thieves. My mates end terrace was broken into three times in two years. Although I have no statistical or scientific evidence to back my statement whatsoever, it is a fact.

I would prefer the end terrace to live, but if it was to rent possibly the mid as less maintenance and kept warmer etc, but I suppose it depends on the location and setting etc.

End terrace you only get one neighbour, but you might get noise from passer's by, depending on proximity to roads and so on.

[EternalOptimist]

a minor point, but you might want to think about where the sun will be in the summer

[Paddy]

If it's been done recently, it will be insulated up the yingyang so I wouldn't worry about the heat loss too much. If you're lucky it will have that K glass already.

If available at the same price, I would always choose the end.

It not about the heat loss, it's about heat gain if you have a mid-terrace house.

[TykeMerc]

Conventional wisdom is that end terrace is better.

Maybe a little more to heat, but more private, more light, less noise, better resale value.

I'd agree with that thinking.

It could be argued the gable end is effectively semi detatched where as the next one is mid terraced with the subsequent added value attached.
