front rooms
Street-facing living spaces
Front rooms are the main living spaces at the front of a house, typically facing the street.
In British usage especially, the front room is the formal sitting room or parlor—the space kept presentable for visitors, distinguished from more casual family areas toward the back: We only used the front room when company came.
