Bungalow - is it a chalet or dormer?

I am off to look or the schedule of our last house (a bungalow with flush veluxes only) to see how it was described.

If I had to answer it in a quiz I'd say a chalet bungalow was built like that, a dormer bungalow was developed into that.

^^^That's a thought.


Just found our schedule....it was described simply as a "a bungalow" so no use I'm afraid.

Thanks, all. I think I'll go with Pastures' suggestion.

Before you take out any insurance, contact the insurer and clarify that your definition is indeed correct. You don't want a future claim rejected because of a triviality!

To my mind chalet means something semi-temporary made out of wood and planks, a bit like a holiday house, whereas a bungalow is usually more solid and made out of bricks and mortar.

Dormer is a design of window - I don't see that chalet in itself has any connotation of window style.
