Is my House Considered a House or Bungalow?

Hi all
I have a house (or bungalow) that I am about to renew the home insurance for. I wondered what type of property it is (as I have heard it described as both) and also if the distinction is important for insurance purposes? I don't want to void my home insurance!
It's a 2 storey dorma-style property with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and one bedroom (and an additional room we use as an office) downstairs.
There is a boarded loft above the upper floor but its ceiling is too low to stand up in.
It was referred to as a house on the estate agent's listing when we bought it and I insured it as a "house" last year.
Many thanks for any advice!

Usually called a chalet bungalow. Was there an option, or drop down option under the bungalow heading, for that?
Was the loft converted into first floor accommodation or was it purpose built as a chalet bungalow?2024 wins: *must start comping again!*1 -

Unfortunately I am not too sure if it was purpose built as a chalet.0 -
If it has two storeys and a loft then it's a house in my book; a bungalow is either one storey or one storey with the loft converted into a room.Adamc said:It's a 2 storey dorma-style property with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and one bedroom (and an additional room we use as an office) downstairs.

Where do people get this "dorma" stuff from? I blame Pavarotti.8

It has rooms on two floors, it's a house.

This style of house is common so ring the insurance company up and ask them.0
