A flat is an apartment.

I (American living in London for more than a decade) don't think I've ever seen a detached single story house before. There might be a name but they're rare enough that I've never heard it before.

Bungalow. I don't think you'll find many in London.

Interesting, thanks. Bungalow in the US would usually mean something like quaint. Where as you can also have a "ranch" house in the US which is a single story usually with a large open floor plan.
