How to say "bungalow" in Japanese

• 平家ひらやCommon
  nounCovers 'bungalow' in its basic sense of a one-story house. The common, neutral word for any single-floor dwelling, used when simply describing a home that has no upper floor.
• バンガロー
  nounThe loanword, less common than 平家. In Japan it often suggests simple cabin-style lodging at a campsite rather than an ordinary one-story home, so it is seldom the word for just any single-story house.
