Town house

Japanese: town house(英語表記)townhouse
Town house

In England, the main residence of the nobility and wealthy country gentry on their country estates (compared to the town house, which was used for staying in London during the social season and during parliamentary sessions) was called a manor house. Originally a manor house, it was the residence of the landowner of a manorial estate in the Middle Ages. However, with the accumulation of wealth and the remarkable development of architectural techniques during the 16th century Tudor dynasty, the construction of grand country houses comparable to palaces in other countries became popular.
