Okay, as someone who is British, I would just like to say that people rarely attempt British-style homes (particularly non-British people) and when they do they often do not quite capture the Britishness, but this is perfect!
becki groves ikr I live in England in a semi detached and it actually looks so much like the houses I live around
becki groves Thank God for James (Semaj-senpai) 😂
becki groves exactly!!! We British are overlooked!!! 😂🇬🇧 And James... British people don't speak like that..... 😬
becki groves you took the words right out of my comment. It looks exactly like my house.
didnt quite capture the weed smell at every other step but rest was great!
This is a perfect British home! When I saw the thumbnail I was like "Someone finally built a perfect actually British looking house!"
How 'bout London squad guvna?

To make this more British, the living room tv should go in the corner ahah next to the window
I agree. They somehow always end in a corner.
Charlotte Burgess yep
Ye we have a biggish tv squashed in the corner making the living room look half empty 🤣
@@jelly_pudding80 yesss
This has made me realise how every tv in my house is wedged into a corner....
One thing I would say to make it more British. You need a kettle and put the washing machine in the kitchen. 😂😂💖
twizzler cosplay exactly.
Oh yeassss😂
I was in West London visiting some friends (I'm Croatian) and they had washing machine in the kitchen/dining area and it is still a mystery for me. Didn't know it was actually a thing.
We have a utility 🙃
I don’t think that you can not add a washing machine in sims 4 only the old sims you can
The difference between the bricks is because the owners tend to go the cheaper route and have the brick work on the front re done but not the side seen as its hardly seen.
Will Hubbard also because when building red brick was more expensive so they only put it on the front
This makes sense!
Also a lot of people have older houses re-clad with faux brick when it's due for re-pointing because it's more expensive to clean the bricks up.
my house has this and i wanted to know why but i guess my question has been aswered :)
Will Hubbard ik us brits love a bargain!!😂🤣
I'm British and you were pretty much exactly right on all of the points you made. I don't know about the bricks on the side of the houses but it's probably just because people might clean the front of the house because that's where most people would see it from.
About the floor plan. Most older houses in England are built with rather closed floor plans but are a lot of the time renovated into open plan.
Amazing build too tho
Yes but dil, your house features an owl slide, not all British houses feature one of those 😂
Abbajabba Drums yeah. Ok you have a V good point there
Dil Howlter 😂😂😂
Dil Howlter what's up Dil? Big fan
To make the interior more British, just plaster a Live Laugh Love wall sticker on a wall with a a red rosy wallpaper and a black recliner sofa
This was gold 😂😂😂😂😂😂
ahahaaa
Lucy Pimlott um no that’s what Chavez do
The black recliner sofa is in my living room and snug 😂
Unapologetically Dommett brilliant 🤣
You forgot the “Live, Laugh, Love” wall sticker 😂
OMG YEAH 😂😂 i hand drew that on my front room for my mother im 14 and i do quite a lot of art so i do murals around the house for my mum. Currently working on a family tree.
Or the home sweet home sign 😂 or the weird alcohol quote which is on offer in Dunelm or home sense 😆😆
And the Malm bedroom set 😂
we have a pillow with ‘live laugh love’
Omg yes I have that in my hallway 😂
As a British person, I can confirm that this is an extremely British home! Well done mate 👍
I'm British so I think it's safe to say that almost every house round here is pretty much exactly like that lol
Koolkittens 4eva I know right
*every house in towns. I live in the countryside of the UK and my house isn't nout like this 😂
can it have room mate in the other house instead of a couple/family
Lol not really, specially if you live in London. Houses like that are mostly in the rich area. It's most likely cheaper outside of London though.
Yes perhaps quite a bit smaller though
That's super spacious compared to the one I grew up in! Great job though. I'd say the only major thing you're missing is a chimney breast inside
Yeah, it did end up a little larger on the inside than I intended, however, kinda useful in Sims to have a bit more space!
As for the chimney, I did think about that as I was doing the living room, but totally forgot to do it
People have their chimney's blocked off, so it is realistic.
Maybe on the second house you could do it how it would have originally looked? Maybe remove the back extension too, as that wouldn't have been there originally. Have the kitchen as a galley, and have the living room and dining room separated by a door. Also, the downstairs toilet would likely have just been a cupboard when it was originally built, so maybe do that too.
Red Viper great idea!
Chimney breast, is that like a mantle?
VitalHonet98 um, kinda? You probably mean the same thing, yeah, but the actual chimney breast and the mantlepiece are different. Like, the mantlepiece is on the front of the chimney breast.... if that makes any sense
All that’s missing from the living room is the leather sofas and the flowery black wallpaper 😂
Literally my living room.
🤮
Yessss
Yes thats olden day sofas we have lether sofas or frabric sofas and this is coming from a british person
@@jorjageesing2051 Makes me laugh how you say olden day when todays furniture and architecture is 1950s style
That's exactly what it's meant to look like! I live in a house just like that in the UK 🇬🇧😄
Joys Creative Finger
Same! I live I one just like this and have been trying to create it in the Sims 4 for sooo long, but I just can't , when I saw this I clicked on it so fast!
OMG SAME!!!
So do I 😛
Joys Creative Finger me too and I've been trying to work out how to make a house like this in the Sims so this is awesome.
Joys Creative Finger Same 😀
*Sits in smaller, closed-plan British semi-detached home whilst sipping tea* "Captured the essence of these houses pretty well, I must say".
And the side walls tend to have less money spent on them in order to make the front of the house look nicer. And the interior design of the browns in the kitchen is pretty accurate too! I don't think I've seen many houses here in the UK without a brown or beige kitchen, unless it has been drastically updated. I love this build!
TheDoctors Whovian So me right now. Having a nice cuppa whilst watching this in my closed plan semi detached 😂
Hahaha my house has white cabinets but it's probably because my parents built it themselves,but it's really uncommon to have different coloured counters
TheDoctors Whovian yes!! I love me tea!!
TheDoctors Whovian btw I also have tea!!
TheDoctors Whovian you may not care for this but my kitchen is mainly red and only has brown in the way of the cabinets 😂
One thing I will say, in most British homes I’ve seen (including my own) the centre of the main living room wall is usually a fireplace (or make-shift fireplace) with the tv positioned in the corner of the room, usually by a window. But apart from that I can’t fault it, well done!
my house literally
You just described my house. An open fireplace, with a TV in the corner next to the bay window. Are you a spy?
Or a TV mounted on a wall above the fireplace.
Spot on. 😆
how do you know what my living room looks like
Something people didn’t seem to notice was that the most non-British thing about this, for me - was that it was too open-plan for a semi detached!
Agreed 🙌
my house is open plan semi, and so was my house before that and also my friends growing up?
Lewis just depends on the area you live in and the money you have usually. My house, and all my friends houses aren’t open plan at all, my aunt (who has more money and lives in Dorset) is very open plan.
As an american, I hate open plans. Makes the house feel like one big room.
Depends when the house was built and what it's owners have done to it since I suppose. My old house was Edwardian built and would have had the dining room separate from the living room, but a few of them had the wall between made into a wide arch opening it up and covering over a door but my nans who was two doors up still had the original wall dividing the two.
OMG you actually got the cubbyhole under the stairs, it's where you put shoes coats
Harry Hockjne yeh I'm from the uk 😁
Shoes, coats, and wizard nephews.
just what I thought
eiram2006 yay Harry Potter reference 😂😂😂😂
Do other nationalities not have our coat cupbaords? XD
Is it just me or is the downstairs floor plan like the exact floor plan of the outnumbered downstairs (this won’t make any sense if ur not British but I was SHOOK)
I think I mentioned in part 2 or in the comments here that it was inspired by that!
SHOOK 🤣, I get this, since I’m British. 🐝💫
Outnumbered is actually everything 😂
I LOVE THAT SHOW SO MUCH!
Lexi Mackay hallway lookin like war torn baghdad
The bricks are different on the front because in the Victorian times, when they built the houses, they used expensive bricks and cheap bricks on the side. They look posh from the front but have cheap bricks on all the other walls
I was dumbfounded when I saw there was no coasters or mugs on the coffee table. It’s a staple in British homes 😂
Staple for Americans cause there messy as fuck, are you living in the 90s?
@@RollingOnFloorLaughing oh my god, stop being so rude to people, it was just a suggestion, which is true about the UK. Jfc
Oh god you're right... *All the people who have OCD like me:*
AHHHHHHH!
Aaron B mate you dont have to be a dick about it! Let people suggest things!
Lol I’m British and I’ve never used coasters (sorry for all the ppl with ocd I just triggered)
OMG this house looks exactly like the British show outnumbered
That show is everything!
Oh my god, yes! I love that show haha x
emily S holy shit it does
but i thought it came with a free child
OMG I LOVE THAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont know if anyone has mentioned this but usually the side bricks are usually the original bricks of the structure and can be hundreds of years old and because of this, are usually not maintained as they back on to alleyways or communal areas. However, the facade of the house is usually maintained or renovated by the owner and so new bricks may be replaced, cleaned etc for aesthetic or sale... and that's why they can look different.....also Sydney *Shakes fist*
sometimes they do have different sides but not always
@Danani Brooks My house was built in the late 1850s, and has red worn brick round the side and back, but the front has light, better condition brick. some houses did have red brick, just not as many.
@Danani Brooks Well mines Victorian.
Fronts of houses always look better as you have the re pointed where you grind out all the exsiting motar clean up brickwork and re point im a bricklayer
Pip what I was told was that whenever people fixed the front of the house they would move bricks from the back and try to find the best match to replace the ones on the back
Very weirdly accurate and satisfying to watch!! (except british houses are generally a lot smaller!)
Em F true
Em F not really, only if you live in an area that jams them in, in my town most of the houses are this size
Where I live they’re typically this size.
Em F Totally agree! I find the small terrace houses (from the front) always seem to go back a loooooong way but are generally very narrow. Only probably about 10 feet wide in some cases. Houses the size of the one made here are normally detached. Other than the size though it really oozes the feel of a British house, great job!
I have a friend that lives in a semi detached house like this and her house is quite big tbh
This is why we need apartment rules for homes, I'd love my sims to live in just half of this!
You can lock the doors for specific sims (e.g. for the ones that would live on the other half) so they won't get in and will only live in their half of the house. I made a college dorm type of house and did that.
@@LeWildSister so did I, it's alot of fun ngl
You could get a roommate and lock them out of your half? Idk just a thought
@Orion I actually think you can do this now with the roommate system that came with discover university! I never tried it though so I'm not sure it would 100% work the same way, but its worth trying.
@@tardybloomer Yep, this definitely works now :D You can basically be like a landlord for the semi-detached next door :D
If ur car was hanging over the pavement the way yours is, ur neighbours would call the council and it’d be towed. Not to mention a bollard put in front of ur drive if u don’t have a drop kerb hahaha 😂 gotta love Britain!
Gabi Deamer true tho 😆
Definately.
Where do you live? No one cares where I live unless you park across their driveway
Ooh yeah my neighbours get right pissy bout that even though they can still get their car in
Gabi Deamer gotta love England 👍🏻😂😂
Finally a house that looks like my actual home! Thanks, James! :)
Check out devin bumpkins "building my house " video .Looks so similar to this one
the only thing that's wrong is that we have taller fences in the back garden 😂
Love that there are two chimneys but no fireplace 😅
Rachel Cogley english people tend to get rid of their fireplace
@@lordgradious4370 that's not really true. Lots of them aren't functional anymore - but people would rarely (if ever?) actually get rid of the fireplace. In the 70s they used to cover them up sometimes, but that's not at all common anymore
Jack Davis so i’ve heard that people have been reinstating them or just not getting rid of them recently which is actually quite good since i’m a fan of fireplaces but i’ve noticed that sometimes when people are renovating homes they remove the fireplace as the make the home look dated, i didn’t mean english people in general i meant like people getting rid of the fireplaces that look out of place
in my house the fireplace was taken out and bricked up. the chimney is still there but just isn't used anymore there's just a bit of wall that sticks out a bit
I have a fireplace
It freaked me out watching you create this house because the first half is an EXACT recreation of my house
Same! I was like this is my actual house wtf
I live in the UK and I live in a detached house and it looks similar to this
Louisa Sharp wow 😂
I live in end terraced
Classic standard model semi I think.
95% of the population lives in this kind of house :/
1:45 UMMMM ACTUALLY STEWIE GRIFFIN TALKS LIKE THAT EXCUSE YOU
Glad im not the only one who thought that!!
Stewies voice actor is also an American..
isabel plummer omg that’s the first thing that popped into my head 😂😂

All the sims needs to add is rain😂🌧
Daniel Howell-- haha yes definately a important part of britain espeacially this April!! 😂😂
Oh Em Gee.
YEEESSSS!
seasons was revealed today, so you'll get your rain for this home now!
Olivia Bell SEASONS IS COMING IM SO HAPPY
Olivia Bell In June the Sim 4 Seasons+Weather is coming out so!! 💖💖💖
The extra sticking out room is an extension. They are common in Britain because the houses are all tiny to accommodate the population
Willow I don’t think you know what an extension is
You mean a conservatory
@@erelpc yes
I thought it was a back porch
Erel H L i think a conservatory is classed as an extension as we still build it to get more space but i guess everyone has their own opinions
this house is actually giant wth (I'm British and this was kinda accurate tho, but its giant 😂)
Lily Mae it looks like one of those houses that your mum says “that’s where the footballers live” when ever we drive through a posh town 😂😂
Alix Wellings trueee i understand you
The size and layout Looks a little like the house I grew up in 😂
Taylor B it looks like my cousins house, like identical. shes a snob though so my house was never that fancy 😂 like the exact layone of the downstairs is the same. with the same renovations james was going for and everything
Alix Wellings it actually does oml 😂😂
Your definitely not wrong! Britain has houses like this everywhere, I live in a detached house so I cannot say that this is exact but a few of my friends do, and theirs is very similar. I’m glad someone has successfully made a British house, who isn’t British! Not many people make British homes. Defiantly inspire me and everyone else with each build you make! 🐝💫
You’re*
I feel like British houses corridors are more narrow.
Edit:Never thought so many people would read this. I lived in England for 17 years, tend to call it a hallway or corridor. Wasn't trying to diss the build, just my thoughts.
For someone who's name is a place in the UK, you don't know shit about it
@@RollingOnFloorLaughing I mean I'm British and I agree with op lol
Its not called a corridor. Its a hallway. And a tiny bit more narrow. Like a nudge. Thats it. Well atleast for council houses.
@@alexg4085 was referring to how he said corridors
@Amelia Cooper Actually Brits call it a ‘Lobby’ .
This is actually pretty accurate! I would say that extensions and conservatories are not original to the home so if they had one it wouldn't be the same as the other half of the semis
This came out so good!
The Sims Gallery I love all your builds, cas and birth to death
Maddi Games awww thank you Maddi!!!
The Sims Gallery I love your builds

America has talent
this def captures the vibe of an upmarket uk home. i could never make an average uk house in the sims because they’re just so small 😂😅
Yeah, I remember trying to recreate my actual house in the Sims... and it didn't work because furniture needs more of a gap in front of it than I could give it for some rooms. :P
neo wouldn't say upmarket as much, more outer city housing
Jess Devitt sub urban houses are often the highest market and most expensive
PEE_IS_STORED_IN_THE_BALLS That’s not a problem in the USA
I live in uk 80 percent if people live in cpuncle houses
Would be great maybe to add on an extension to the 2nd house to make it different to the 1st one. Typically that would be at the back of the house or up into the loft.
EDIT: Also totally forgot fireplaces with chimney breast walls!
Harrie when I saw the thumbnail I was like PLEASE BE A LOFT CONVERSION!! Coz mine has one
Harry Sutlieff so does mine!
I agree, when he put an extension on the back of both I was like "NOOO!!" because who honestly wants the same extension as the neighbours?? Also little disspointed there are no fireplaces anywhere - my home looks really similar to this one but like every room has a fireplace that is never used and just give massive draughts :P
YES! I always forget about the fireplaces because all my chimney breasts have been removed!
Lucky you, used to freak my friends out when they stayed over and slept in my room :p the wind sometimes sounds like moaning and stuff lol!
It looks just like the house from Outnumbered oh my days
blu velvet • aha Karen!!
karen the demon
i was looking for this comment!!
I WAS GONNA SAY THAT!!! The kitchen omds...
You are a legend Semaj! Thank you for being the only Sims UA-camr that can build an actual typical British home. As a British person, I give you a title to be an honorary one 😂
Yeah you wouldn't get 4 bedrooms in one these houses, at least not to these sizes in most "Middle class" areas. 2-3 bedrooms, 2 double and 1 single/box room with a bathroom at the top of the stairs. That's the normal.
I live in the Wirral and I have 4 bedroom rooms
We have a semi detached house, and it has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a lounge, dining room, 4 loft-type spaces, conservatory, kitchen (obvs) and conservatory. Must vary, but they do exist.
the accuracy of this is unreal. Exactly my house
Kathryn McCallum Then you’re rich
MrMessiah I wish, but not anymore. Must have blew all it on the house then hahah
This looks Amazing! The tv part is perfect, just like mine! the only thing that is different is that the house you made is tidier than my house! 😂
😂
Are you british then?
I agree, its tider than my house too i have one of these houses.
I wish my semi detached house was this big 😂
Lils X same :]
-Same
Woooo finally!! A simmer that actually made a British style house
Just copy and paste that in every plot of land and that’s what England looks like.
Alix 😂😂😂 that's hilarious and sad at the same time
Alix 😂😂😂 that's hilarious and sad at the same time
I live in England and most of the house round my area are all detached ...
Alix I'm dying that's so true 😂
Yesssss omg
Yeh the sun room/conservatory is added on after it being built normally chosen to be added by the owner
In the part of England I'm from we call them utility rooms. It's just where we keep the washing machine, tumble dryer and ironing board
Missy Who yeh they can be used for that too....obviously I was just going off of what I am used to seeing.
100% of houses with kids have a trampoline in the back garden.
Except my house
Maro well next door will have one...
@V3GAS4CE not even next door. Next door does not even have a backyard, my house does. Well, not my house. I live with my mum because im still a kid
I don't have a trampoline and I am British
I have a trampoline 😂
You should do a British council house😂
Lux Lox /yes/
yes !!
It would just be a smaller version of this with brick side and back walls with a white and red painted front.
tigerlily wilkinson yeah, but it'd be fun to see, still. somehow just seeing a smaller version of this house with less fancy decor would feel nice
but we don't have that anymore its all getting sold off. thaxs torries.
Where the typical British wooden shed?
Simtastic Gaming omg yes, needs a shed at the bottom of the garden covered in cobwebs and tools inside and then it will be complete 😂
+Jamie Tongue Yes! all the cobwebs! Ours is brick built because all the houses in this area were built with them, but the spider infestation is real. 😂
@@jim.b0b yess
I'm British and I live in a semi detached house
the people I live next two have the same layout in their house as mine, but it's flipped
Very fancy for a council house 😂
Tasha C Tm 😂
Yep maybe too fancy🤣🤣🤣
Nah that's how brit housees are
Not everyone lives in council houses -.-
These kinds of houses are usually found in the richer estates, council houses look more like cottages usually
Walls on the side always look different? I've literally never seen that before, considering I grew up in a house very much like this one. Also yes to the "we have big fences" comment. Also, houses on the estate I grew up on all had one of two different floorplans, because people could decide which they preferred if they brought them while they were being built. And both floorplans were TOTALLY different from one another downstairs. But the same upstairs.
Ahh fair enough, might just be the area I'm in. We have quite a few houses where the upstairs front is different and just a flat painted cream, a wooden board or that old Tudor style, but I've never seen any houses that are a fully different brick or whatever on the front to the rest of the house.
I'd assume with council homes it's different because the person living in them when they were built didn't own them, so they didn't get to pick the floorplan. Just like how I work with someone who asked for tonnes of extra sockets installed in her house while it was being built. If you own something, they're going to want to customise it somewhat to suit you so you're happy with your new home, but the council aren't quite as kind. Same as where I live now, every house seems to have air con (thank god. Not often you see that here in the UK) but it's only in one room, randomly, so it seems like that was put in when they were built, but it was put where each person wanted it.
You forgot one thing. Carpeted floors EVERYWHERE. now that's British
Wiktoria Rowinska Except the Kitchen and Bathroom of course. I have seen the rare case of carpet in a bathroom, but those tend to be old fashioned houses with elderly residence. I can just imagine the damp damage.
Larkspur carpet in the bathroom? What were they thinking! It would get so wet.
My grandparents had carpet in their bathroom. Thick, fluffy carpet. I was nice and warm in winter. They just put a throw rug down in front of the tub/shower to help catch the water. I'm too klutzy to deal with that, though. I'd have water everywhere somehow :D
The semi detached house we rented had carpet in the bathrooms.... it was horrible, we still wonder "WHY THE BATHROOMS!?" Even now after we bought our own house, guess what was the first thing to go from our house when we refurbished it 😅
Wiktoria Rowinska I dont
Up north is well cheaper then down south. For example my cousin just bought a 4 bed big kitchen and medium sized living room for 115,000 but we were looking for houses in essex and a house like that was around 550,000
Edit: I also do know that houses down south for example places like Colchester and other places in Essex are more expensive simply because it's easily accessible to get to london like one train that's all
Omg legit! I'm terrified for when I move out with my partner, we're from Essex and for us to get a little apartment here would be the same price as like a decent sized house up north!
Where the fuck are you getting a 4 bed for 115k
@@tomgraham7168 You can get four bedrooms, with a two door garage and driveway in Liverpool for just under £120,000 haha I looked but down here in the south it would cost just over £600,000 to get that it's ridiculous.
Depends where you live. Houses in Lytham have ridiculous prices. For a nice 4 bedroom house, it would cost around £600,000+.
Where I live its 180k for a 4 bed house
You should do this house then decorate it Scouse (Liverpool) style. Glitter, marble, chandeliers, fur, animal print...
I read that in a scouse accent x
Oh my god im scouse and it would be so funny to see that
Charlotte Mouse aha yer me too x
Omg yes.
Oh my lord, do not tempt me to do this. *I will.*
As a British citizen, I approve. I think the side walls (or those rendered) are usually built with lower quality bricks.
It's all about first impressions!
The reason why there is the different brick on the side is because we don't really care about the side of the house. The red bricks in the front are called fareham red bricks and that's where I'm from aha x
It's Beee Yeah I'm Scottish and the style is similar, but in my area it's sandstone brick on the front x
I lived in Fareham for about 6 years, I'm from Ranvilles road. Wbu??
*cough* Nerd (just joking)
It's Beee scritch scrotch pls
The side is always white stone.
Conservatory are very popular over here. They usually have glass doors separating it from the rest of the house though making it it's own separate room.

Leah Mathlin I hate that advert
When these Georgian houses were built they used stone brick on the front on the houses and the cheaper bricks towards the back as they wouldn’t he seen. X
Meg Clayton xx
Before I even read the title, the thumbnail was screaming 'british" at me
The Red and blue doors made it look like Gnomeo and Juliet that one movie 😂😂😂 I hate myself
julie animated movie you mean
Red and blue doors are common in certain housing areas tho
MonstehDinosawr yeah I meant the movie
HAHAH
OMG FINALLY!! SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY BUILT A BRITISH HOME THAT IS SEMI DETACHED!!! THANKS JAMES!! (Sos for caps lol just soo happy) haha
I love how often the word “space” is used here, when it’s the last word anyone would use to describe a typical british home, especially if it’s a semi-detached 😂 a british home is not a a british home without a fireplace as well. No critique to you though, you did an awesome job
i am from glasgow in the uk and this is so British love it
I'm pretty sure Scottish housing looks different to this? isn't it usually made of like a cobble material?
Ethan Paget no
Ethan Paget I lived in Scotland for about six years and all of the houses I saw were made of a cobble-ish material and normally a pastel colour
Ethan Paget yeah the red bricks are more common in England. It really depends on the materials found in the area- I'm form Aberdeenshire (Aberdeen known as the Granite city) and most houses in the North-East are made of granite walls
This is such an awesome build! It looks very realistic. I also attempted a build on this kind of British suburban style, but you did a way better job! I wish we could build actual working semies in TS4!
the only thing is, most semi detatched houses are a lot smaller, but other than that this is on point
im in a semi-detached house and its actually bigger than this, it really varies haha
bekutaa oh wow really? must be where i am since all our buildings were destroyed in ww2. thanks for correcting me!
Yeah it just depends on the home, my semi detached home originally has 2 bedrooms where as my boyfriends has 3. But then you can convert the attic into a bes room like we did.
There’s just one thing I would say the houses are never usually this big when there attached houses as I live in one myself😂 Apart from that it’s pretty much perfect
WTF it looks just like the house across the street from me😲
Ya did good just like British housing👌
Great build!! I would love to see you use it in a lets play!!
People generally spend more time and money making the front of their house look nice, and tend to care less about what the side walls look like. That's why there's that difference you often notice.
in the interior upstairs, in british houses it's usually a huge master bedroom with en suite, one or two normal sized bedrooms and a box room and a bathroom ( or at least in newer houses )
Huge master bedroom? Clearly, you've never been on a council estate, you toff.
@@JinsolLee uhhh sorry?
Evie-mae Equestrian they are right, my cousins house has three bedrooms, roughly the same size, no giant master bedroom in a council estate.
Cheese Puffs ok but I was talking about the kind of newer houses not the council houses
Evie-mae Equestrian oh sorry then
If your talking about the weird scattered pebbles on the side of the houses, it's called pebble dash / stone scatter. It's a bunch of of grinder up stones, stuck with plaster or something else, and often painted over to give a different look. 👍🏻From the Uk
I live in Britain and the houses look like that but the gardens curl round the house so you did that part wrong but everything else...
PERFECT 😁
Oh yeah I didn't even notice that, but everything else works!
Gerald Dixon WEIRD NARROW GARDENS 😂
The sad thing is, a house like this is considered luxury in the U.K. Average houses are 3 bedrooms, one being a box room. One bathroom upstairs, small kitchen and living room and no dining room, the dining table often goes in the kitchen making it more cramped. Washing machine and dryer also installed in the kitchen. Tiny back and front yard, often fully paved so no personal green space and no room for expansion. Lucky if you have a driveway or a garage, often having to park on the road in front of your house. Attics are also small, meaning no expansion upwards. For a house like in the vid, you’d have to have a pretty decent paying job, or even a qualified profession like a being a doctor. A family of 6 would live in a 3 bedroom house, parents often having the box room and two kids living in each of the other rooms. House prices all over the U.K. are ridiculous, like majorly bad. A house like I described would set you back about £400,000, in city’s like London however you’re looking in the region of about £800,000 if you’re lucky. A dingy little 3 bedroom attached terrace recently sold for £1,200,000 in London... And the prices are rising causing the current generation to take out mortgages which take up to 15 years to pay off. It’s sad, common folk working hard for nothing whilst the rich get richer.
Come up north! House prices aren't great but you can still buy houses like you described (maybe only two bedrooms) for £50,000. A house like this though would probably be £275,000. Of course, not everyone can be up north because of work, family etc
Edit: I live in Durham and the very cheap houses are in the mining villages so there isn't as much access to shops and schools which brings down the value x
Indy Mindy I do live in the north! I’ve noticed house prices up here are massively rising too, at least where I live (not far from Durham)! And the further south you get, the more pricey the house. It’s easier if you’re single, a 2 bedroom house would do just fine, but for families, especially first time family’s/buyers, it’s increasingly harder :/
@@sewell2777 Oh cool! I think it's starting to become quite a big issue that it's getting tricky to get on the housing ladder :( On the bright side, some of the houses here that would be in the millions down south are actually (slightly) more affordable. There was a house for sale that was 6 bedrooms and it had a pool and it was selling for £450,000! Way beyond my budget but I thought it was pretty cool :)
It is sad how expensive our houses are considering the size.
ShutInKestrel that’s so weird I live in Reading
The only thing you missed was the fire place in the living room, the rest is perfectly British and my dream home.
This house in England would coast sooo much and some houses have a conservatory I have one but only 5 houses where I live have them and this house you probably would rent this most likely not be a council house . But again at prices if you live closer to London it will coast sooo much and other big cities. It would be cheapier in Northern Ireland in Belfast I don't know about anywhere else
Danni Chambers depends on what landlord you have
The downstairs layout is similar to the outnumbered house 😂😂
Pippa Saunders oh yeah. It’s so similar
That's exactly what came into my head, especially the kitchen/hallway area
That’s what I was thinking the entire time 😂
Omg I literally just commented this and then started scrolling to look at the comments. It really does look like the house haha
Yasss it does 😂
I'm so happy that an amazing Simmer has finally made a build based on houses in Britain I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel like it’s too big for a average british home especially ground floor. We usually have 2 rooms and a foyer if not it’s open planned with separate kitchen
That’s just not true, this is pretty standard unless you’re a pauper.
this is standard for the late Victorian houses
This is average in my opinion it’s exactly like my house
I live in an ex-council and it's very similar to this, my kitchen is a bit bigger though
I love how James randomly has unintentional screaming moments. Haha
Ahhh great content but I just kept screaming in my head that the BATHROOM GOES AT THE BACK OF THE HOUSE. At least most of the houses I've lived in, they have been in the back. I've lived in council houses most my life 😅
I agree
I lived in a brand new house 2 bedroom. 1 bedroom at front then bathroom in middle and then bedroom at back of course you had a landing. Our kitchen was at the front of house sitting room at the back. Depends how houses are built.
If my grandparents ever renovated their Finchley house, it would probably look like this. Semi detached but an end house so a beautiful garden and a spacious shed. Small closed off rooms, but we love it there. I can't imagine them ever renovating the place
Very like the house in the British show Outnumbered, as I've seen people saying. Also reminds me of the Stonem's house in the British show Skins. Very well done.
Love this!!! Wish you could separate the two units and sell them individually! You'd think that feature would be easy to incorporate with apartment life.
Uk squad where u at 😂😂😂
Jess Clay I'm literally watching this while drinking tea
Jess Clay hear
Jess Clay Here! Where in the UK do you live? I live in Northern Ireland (Southern Ireland is not in the U.K.)
Jess Clay hi there I'm British
Gang Gang Gang
Come to an area like Liverpool and Manchester, there are scabby back alleys where people dump their rubbish, you wouldn’t see nice houses like these😂😂
MaddieIsCool ikr 😂
Nicole Ffion 😂😂
MaddieIsCool ikr this is more like a house from the south of England in places like Brighton or Surrey
Places like wythenshaw you’d get houses like that but in moss side you’d get fly tipping for days
It can be like that too in bham, especially in areas by Sandwell (which is smaller but i'd say has more areas like that).
i’m suprised by how much people who aren’t british notice in british houses, like no one who’s british actually notices because it’s normal to us but when someone actually point it out it’s impressive lmao
He should do a council estate home😂😩
"what's the plural of children"
childrens 😎
Love this build.I think EA should add some taller fences,alot of British houses have high fences ☺
Jesse K most have tall fences tho, just cos you don’t , doesn’t mean the majority doesn’t
Wow nostalgia, as a Brit who left a long time ago this brings back memories.
In the US we call houses like this duplexes :)
Autumn Coffey instantly my comment. Thus I searched for it before I said. But thats general english not just merica
Only thing is- no british house is this big lol
So true. This would be luxury for a Brit XD
Ngl I used to live in a house that’s quite big but the upstairs wasn’t as big as this
Semi’s are huge, I grew up in a house like this.
bmad48 yes they are, most of the houses near me are this size, my house is this size
bmad48 True
now how on earth do you built sumit like that. best I can do is a little box with a few paintings in it
Alcoves! Add little sticky out bits and it makes it look fancy. I'm shite at building houses but alcoves are my saviour of building
Behold the most British sentence ever to be typed.
Bins in front garden,
Picket fence in the middle of the gardens as well as on the outside bit, not brick.
I’ve never seen a semi-detached house with a different colour brick on the side.
Often the lights are in groups of 3 weirdly angled bulbs or lights with tacky shades around them (as in, patterned or pink or something).
However, all things considered, this is SO ACCURATE!!! Most people who try to do British houses are way off the real thing! Yours is almost perfect! 👌
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it it looked like a home from england (I should know because I am British) so good job 👍
Watching this and all I can think is *4 Privet Drive* ...I'll let myself out now lol
Zazsuran same! That's the first thing that popped in my head
I get why you would think that but it was actually a detached house it was just in a culdesack which is why the other houses were so close
I didnt think of that till you said it.....
Random person: *mentions the country of England in general*
"OH HARRY POTTER"
As a Brit I think this looks perfect!
1:40 when he says no one talks like that it sounds almost like Stewie Griffin lol
