The list above shows I have lived in seven stone built terraced houses.
The sizes and interior layouts differed, so it is not realistic to say that all terraced houses are better to live in than new builds.

Two of them had only single brick walls dividing next door - hence neighbour noise.
One had no front garden - hence street noise & litter.

Some terraced houses are worth preserving - many aren't.

From my frequent flittings I can say with some authority that what matters most is -
location, location, location.
