What is a "detached house"?
A detached house is a stand-alone residential building that does not share walls with any other structure. It is typically surrounded by its own yard or garden, offering more privacy and space compared to homes that are attached to others, such as townhouses or apartments. Detached houses come in various sizes and designs and are often preferred for families who want a larger living area and more outdoor space. These homes are common in suburban areas, where they provide a sense of independence and personal ownership.
Examples
They moved into a spacious detached house in the countryside.
