Vertical duplex that is also part of a terrace of houses?

Hi all, first post here; I’m baffled by how to tag a local residence type I’ve come across:

They are at the end of rows of regular UK-style terraced houses, but these end ones are two flats above each other with separate entrances to their own garden/driveway.

On the attached street view the right-side red entrances are terraced houses, and the sunny one around the corner is the ground floor flat entrance. The other flat entrance is not visible from this angle, but it’s where that car is parked behind the wooden fence.

So these are duplexes/apartments that are also part of a terrace? They were all purpose-built this way.

Pls help me tag them :smiley:

(I’ve come across this thread about top-bottom duplexes, but my case is not semi-detached, so I thought I’d open a separate thread.)

In the absence of an agreed building=small_multi_unit or something similar like discussed in the other thread, I personally think building=house, house=terraced, building:flats=2 is still the best tagging now: it describes its built form as part of a terrace (the end part, of course, but nevertheless a part), and specifies how many units there are. You can map the entrances themselves, as well. But I wouldn’t really object to other tagging methods.
