Default I need precise phrase in Italian for...

... "end-terrace house".
I need to write detailed descriptions for a series of properties in (my fairly OK-ish) Italian.
However, I'm stuck on this one.
I know "villa a schiera" = terraced house but is there a proper (professional-sounding) phrase for "end-terrace house"?
Before anyone suggests, I've already looked in the Italian property glossary thread (in another section).
Thanks very much

In Tuscany, we would use terratetto libero su tre latti. I would say "ultimo terratetto di una casa a schiera libero su tre latti". Perhaps a bit complicated, but it is the best I can come up with.

I would say "villa a schiera libera su tre lati". that's what my parent's house in Casal Palocco in Rome is called and that's an end-of-terrace.

I've often found this site useful - it may not have the translation for "end of terrace" that you're looking for now, but I'm sure it will be useful for many other phrases you (and others) may need.
