English has stolen many words from other languages. This may well
be one of them.<br>
My dictionary says "maisonette"; 1) small house 2) semi-detached
house 3) self contained flat over 2 floors<br>

<div>These days, it's apparently been replaced by "Granny

Granny flats can be attached (or semi-detached) or completely
separate from the main residence. <br>
