CultureMany older people live in bungalows because there are no stairs to climb. In Britain, especially in the 1920s, large groups of bungalows were often built together on the edges of towns, or in places where people go to live when they have retired from work, such as the south coast of England. The word bungalow comes from the Hindi name for an old type of house built for Europeans in Bengal.Topics Houses and homesc1Collocations Dictionaryadjective- two-bedroom
