I have tagged quite a number of "2 up 2 down" properties as building=house,
house=maisonette based on the guidance on
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:house. Personally, this tagging
makes sense to me as primarily, the building is housing, whether split into
individual dwellings or not. More recently, and with the aid of the
Cadastral Parcels layer, I have tended to split these into pairs of
upper/lower, and have added a node at the front/side door (as appropriate)
with the address where I have it.

Since it is a map/database, we can query if it is detached, semi-, or
terraced - so building=detached is IMO not as helpful as tagging that it is
a house. But I just map things rather than make maps from the data, so
happy to follow the prevailing consensus.

Cheers, Donald
