Bungalow House Type
A bungalow is a type of house, with varying meanings across the world. Common features to many bungalows include being detached, low-rise (single storey or one-and-a-half storeys), and the use of verandahs. In Australia, the California bungalow was popular after the First World War. In Britain and North America a bungalow today is a residential house, normally detached, which is either single storey, or has a second storey built into a sloping roof, usually with dormer windows ("one and a half storeys"). Full vertical walls are therefore only seen on one storey, at least on the front and rear elevations. Usually the houses are relatively small, especially from recent decades, though early examples may be large, in which case the term bungalow tends not to be used today.
