a linear village/settlement
Explanation:
A linear village is a small to medium-sized settlement that is formed around a transport route, such as a road, river, or canal. A linear village may have no obvious center, such as a road junction or green. The route probably predated the village and then settlement grew up at some way station or feature, growing along the transport route. Often, it is only a single street with houses on either side of the road (http://dataurbanist.com/linear_village)
