It's probably just two flats split as up/down rather than maisonettes
split front/back or left/right. Something like a Tyneside flat:

There are some of a similar vintage to those ones you found near me:

I'm not sure how they are split internally but they have two doors, one
on the front and one on the side, and each has it's own number.
