Many British people love old houses and these are often more expensive than modern ones. They also love gardening so they often have a garden at the back of the house and another at the front.Some gardens are very small with just one tree and a few flowers. Others are enormous with plenty of flowers and enough vegetables and fruit trees. Two third of the families in Britain own their houses. A typical British house is for a family of two, three or four people. There are two floors in the traditional house; the ground floor and the first floor. On the ground floor there is a sitting room(a living room), a dining room and a kitchen. There is a bathroom and bedrooms on the first floor. Small houses have one or two bedrooms. Large houses have three or more. British people like their homes and often say, “There is no place like home” and “East or West, home is best.”
