Detached

A stand alone house also called a single-detached dwelling, detached residence or separate house is a free-standing residential building. Sometimes referred to as a single family home as opposed to a multi-family residential dwelling.

A single detached dwelling contains only one dwelling unit and is completely separated by open space on all sides from any other structure, except its own garage or shed.

The definition of this type of house may vary between legal jurisdictions or statistical agencies. The definition, however, generally includes two elements:

Most single-family homes are built on lots larger than the structure itself, adding an area surrounding the house, which is commonly called a yard in North American English or a garden in British English. Garages can also be found on most lots. Houses with an attached front entry garage that is closer to the street than any other part of the house is often derisively called a snout house.

It is important to note that In the United States, that the term "Single Family Residence" specifically refers to the structure- not the occupants. Historically, Homeowners Associations have used the term to limit non-nuclear families and social preferences from living in communities. Presently, these types of HOA policies are subject to Fair Housing Lawsuits, heavy penalties, and possibly personal liability for board members.

Terms corresponding to single-family detached home in common use are single-family home (in the U.S. and Canada), single-detached dwelling (in Canada), detached house (in the United Kingdom and Canada), and separate house (in New Zealand).

In the United Kingdom, the term single-family home is almost unknown, except through Internet exposure to U.S. media. Whereas in the U.S., housing is commonly divided into "single-family homes", "multi-family dwellings", "Condo/Townhouse", etc., the primary division of residential property in British terminology is between "houses" (including "detached", "semi-detached", and "terraced" houses and bungalows) and "flats" (i.e., "apartments" or "condominiums" in American English).
