"Tŷ ar wahân"

Translation: A detached house

[kirezatav]

Is there a difference between tŷ ar wahân and tŷ sengl?

[RowenaJane]

Yes I would like to know this too. Anyone know?

[ibisc]

No difference.

[Cynphony]

Does this mean guest house?

[rmcode]

It's a type of family home in the UK, it simply means that the building is not attached to another by any of its walls.

These are the most expensive domestic dwellings. In urban areas 'terraced houses', built in a long row of attached buildings' or 'semi-detached houses', two separate dwellings in one building, are more common.

[PushythePirate1]

Could this be the same idea as the US 'single family home'? That denotes a house that isn't attached to another (like a duplex, quad, townhome, etc).

[hnigro]

Yes - what Americans typically call a house is what people in the UK call a detached house. A semi-detached house would be a duplex, where the units are side-by-side. Townhouses in the US - with multiple units (usually 4-8) side-by-side - are terraced houses in the UK.
