In french, a "maisonette" is a small detached house or a tiny
house or a
shed.
Did this word also exist in english
English has stolen many words from other languages. This may well be one
of them.
My dictionary says "maisonette"; 1) small house 2) semi-detached house
3) self contained flat over 2 floors
Have heard the term in Australia but not for many years.
These days, it's apparently been replaced by "Granny Flat", which is a
similar concept of a self-contained flat attached to a house, but with
it's own entrance.
Granny flats can be attached (or semi-detached) or completely separate
from the main residence.
