End-of-terrace house

An end-of-terrace house sits at the end of a row of joined dwellings, sharing only one party wall with the neighbouring property and having an external side wall on the other. In North London boroughs such as Hackney and Islington, end-of-terrace properties often benefit from side access that allows engineers to reach rear drainage more easily than mid-terrace properties. Drainage characteristics commonly include a soil stack on the side elevation and improved access to the rear yard drains for rodding and CCTV survey. Common issues mirror those of mid-terraces, including combined drain blockages and root ingress, but localised flooding may also affect the side passage where rainwater from the roof valley discharges. Listed Building Consent or Conservation Area considerations apply in areas such as Hampstead and Highgate.
