A link-detached house is one which is mostly detached, as opposed to terraced or semi-detached, but linked to the neighbouring house at some point. The link is often made at the point where a garage, or pair of garages, is set in between the two houses. This allows a developer to claim most of the privacy benefits of a detached home, but save costs by sharing the walls supporting the garage or garages.
They can also be linked at the foundations, so a developer can build a large run of foundations in one go, which is faster and therefore cheaper, then build the individual houses above.
Most of the link-detached houses and bungalows in the United Kingdom were built between the 1960's and 1980's but a small number are still built today.
