In Australia houses that share one or more walls with the next house (can be

town houses are a more recent variation of terraced houses. The term usually 
describes luxury residences (terraced) in central locations of big cities (this 
definition based on German context, not sure about other countries).


Correct in Australia too, they date from before WW2 at least.
Terrace houses in Australia come from workers dwellings - cheap and small.
They originally had an outside toilet, no bathroom.
Some times the end ones were bigger, the end units were certainly preferred as 
you had a little more privacy and a little more land along side.
There are still a number of these around, now with preservation orders on them.

2 of these would fit inside one modern town house.
