Terraced houses in Malta: traditional and practical living
Terraced houses in Malta are inspired by the British row house design, known for its long and narrow plots, share side walls with neighbouring properties, creating a continuous line of houses along a street. This layout enhances proportions, allowing sunlight and natural light to permeate the space effectively. These houses are a common and cherished part of the island’s architectural landscape, particularly in larger towns.
Terraced houses often feature traditional Maltese architectural elements, such as limestone façades, wooden shutters, and occasionally, the iconic Maltese balcony. Inside, they usually offer multiple floors of living space, with layouts that include separate living and dining areas, several bedrooms, and often, a backyard or internal courtyard.
In the real estate market, terraced houses are valued for their blend of traditional charm and practicality. They are ideal for families and those seeking more space than an apartment can offer, while still being relatively low maintenance compared to detached homes. Their central locations and potential for modernisation also make them attractive investment opportunities.
