Probably the reason can be explained etymologically.

In the UK, terraced houses (AmE row houses) are very common, so those lucky enough to hear less noise from their neighbours emphasize that by owning a 'detached' (not attached to a terrace) or 'semi-detached' (two houses sharing a wall) building. The detached/semi-detached also allow outdoor access to the back garden, so the 'end-of-terrace' house is marketed with a similar advantage.

In a typical British terrace, each house has its own back garden.
