Victorian terrace

Ornate connected homes

A Victorian terrace is a row of attached houses built during Queen Victoria's reign (1837–1901), sharing side walls in a continuous line along a street.

Common throughout Britain, these narrow, uniform homes typically feature bay windows, decorative brickwork, and small front gardens.

The style remains prevalent in British cities: They bought a Victorian terrace in South London.
