Semi-detached houses are a good way of saving construction costs.
A semi-detached house is a setting of two houses one joined to another by a common wall.
Semi-detached houses are good for income generation, especially for the tenants who prefer living in an area with few people. With a semidetached house, you have an option of staying in one unit while you rent out the other.
But all in all, the standard (amenities) at which you put your houses at, the bigger the returns, so take this as another option middle/high class rentals.
The plan shown here is an example of a two-bedroomed semi-detached house but showing only one side.
It consists of the following; a siting room large enough to accommodate a four seat dining table, a dining Area, a kitchen with a pantry.
