How about:
Apartment / Flat
Is a Flat just an apartment, or does it refer to a house too?

Nope! A flat is an apartment that occupies one floor level. If it's more than that it's a maisonette. A single story house is a bungalow, if it has dormer windows set into the roof it's a chalet-bungalow. Single houses are "detatched". 2 linked together are "semi-detatched". 3 or more joined together are "terraced". http://www.countrylife.co.uk/home_property_news.htm

We also have "townhouse" which refers to a row of two- or three-storey semi-detached flats joined together.
