    Types of Houses

    Bungalow
    Although people often think Bungalows and Cottages are the same, theyre actually not, although some may appear the same. Bungalows are low profiles types of housing, as are a lot of cottages, but the distinction comes between the style, history and the price tag. Generally, bungalows are a lot cheaper than Cottages. A bungalow is essentially a subset of the set Cottage. The word bungalow originates from the Indian word bangle, which in the 19th century referred to houses built in a Bengali style. Bungalows were created when British colonial administrators adapted the classic Indian style low roofs and porches built around them. They can either be detached or semi-detached. Theyre very popular in America, where they have all kinds of styles; each distinct style is often related to particular states.

    Detached
    A detached house is a single standing property that doesnt share any walls with any other structure. Due to the isolation of the property, theyre usually more private and generally more expensive than any other type of house.

    End of Terrace
    An end of terrace house is a house situated at the end of a terrace (the definition of a terrace house is below). Like a semidetached house, only one side of the house shares a common wall, while the other is detached.

    Cottage
    Thick walls, small windows, structural pillars, low ceilings and most distinctly a thatched roof typically characterize cottages. Cottages were originally located in rural or semi-rural locations, although a lot of cottages have since been developed in cities. Originally, in the middle ages, cottages housed agricultural workers and their families. The term cottage denoted the dwelling of cotter- peasants. However, that stereotype has since been washed away, as the traditional cottage look is now sort after, making them an expensive purchase. Cottages are houses that usually come with one and half storey. The top floor is much smaller than the ground floor, as the pillars used to hold up the structure takes up a lot of the living space. The thick, dark, classic timber pillars are usually what characterize a cottage. Theyre a huge focal point of the property, as theyre located throughout the property, on display to give a classic village look. Like with bungalows, the structuring of cottages vary from country to country.
