What is a corner terrace house?
Terrace houses are known as row houses or townhouses. As per URA regulations, a group of at least three units is required to classify as terrace houses.
The middle units are connected to their neighbours on both sides through a shared wall referred to as a party wall, while corner terraces are only attached to one neighbouring unit.
Because of their position at the corner, these homes usually have a larger land area, making them suitable for homebuyers seeking ample space.
As a result, individuals who enjoy cultivating plants, pet owners who require a roomy backyard, or parents who want a grassy play area for their children typically prefer these properties.
What are the pros and cons of a corner terrace house?
Pros
As mentioned previously, corner terraces are highly desirable due to their larger land area, making them ideal for bigger families or those looking to renovate or upgrade their homes in the future.
These homes have a more appealing atmosphere, with more windows to let in cool air and light up the interior.
Corner terraces offer increased privacy as they only share one wall with a neighbouring property.
Cons
Despite their advantages, corner terraces are more expensive due to their larger size. However, they are still less costly than detached properties like bungalows.
Furthermore, corner terraces are harder to find due to their limited supply.
