It suggests, instead, a somewhat tumble-down place, along the lines of a "beach shack!

Truth be told, I think British ones tend towards that nature from the examples that I've seen. A lot were thrown up comparatively quickly as desperately needed post-WWII housing and time has not been kind to them. Not all of them, I have seen some respectable examples.

Some of the multi-storey houses, & blocks of flats in your country were also already looking pretty dire, back in the 1970s---for the latter, even 1960s builds.
I hate to think what 50 years has done to them!

'The term 'Bungalow' seems to be fairly diverse in use now,as per Google Images!...

Uh. Do you find any other language disgusting ( :-// ), or do you just find the translations themselves usually so poor that they are disgusting?
