"Link detached" is the normal term for that kind of arrangement. The 
linking building is more commonly at ground level (often a garage that 
extends to the property boundary), but it can be at an upper level as 
well. Where it is an upper level, it's often the result of retro-fitting 
an upstairs bathroom to a row of originally detached houses by means of 
filling in the gap between them.
