Semi-detached house description: example and free generator
The challenge with a semi-detached house is that the listing next door may be nearly identical, so your description has to earn its differences: extensions, refitted rooms, garden length, which side is attached. Buyers are typically growing families and first-time upsizers who read several similar listings in one sitting. Be clear about shared driveways or access arrangements, and cover tenure and council tax band as standard.
Example semi-detached house description
A WELL-PRESENTED THREE-BEDROOM SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE WITH EXTENDED KITCHEN ON BIRCHFIELD AVENUE, NANTWICH
This bay-fronted 1930s semi-detached house has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners, most notably with a rear extension creating the open-plan kitchen and dining space that so many buyers in this part of Nantwich are searching for.
The accommodation comprises an entrance hall with original stained-glass front door, a bay-fronted living room, and the extended kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors onto the garden. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a single third bedroom and a modern family bathroom. Outside, the lawned rear garden extends to approximately 60 ft, and a private driveway to the side provides off-road parking.
Birchfield Avenue is a quiet residential road well placed for local primary schools, with the town centre and railway station both under a mile away. To arrange a viewing, please get in touch with our sales team.

Tips for writing semi-detached house listings
- Lead with what distinguishes this house from the attached neighbour and the rest of the road: an extension, a loft conversion, a refitted kitchen or a longer garden.
- Say whether the driveway or side access is shared - buyers ask, and it is better read in the listing than discovered at viewing.
- For 1930s semis, name the features - bay windows, original doors, picture rails - instead of relying on the word "character".
- Give the garden's approximate length and orientation; for family buyers this is often the deciding detail between two similar semis.
- Describe extension or conversion potential as "subject to the usual consents" - never assert that permitted development rights apply.
