> In the UK a house has multiple floor levels with stairs

While most houses in the UK do have multiple floor levels, in what way
is this a _requirement_ to be called a 'house' ?

> a bungalow is a single-floored dwelling place.

Unless it has had a loft conversion. But even if it is a bungalow it is
still a house if it is a place for people, especially a single family,
to live.

BTW most houses in New Zealand are single story, though mine* has 3,
the original single level, a basement office and a 'pop-top'. In NZ a
house would only be called a bungalow if it resembled the original
Indian meaning of a small native house with verandas (another indian
word), and even then it would most likely be called a batch (North
Island - short for Bachelor house) or crib (South Island).
