Do "2-story" homes in England actually have 3 floors?
No. Think of the number as representing how many levels you have to go up.
If you go one level up, then you're on the floor of level 1. etc.
A two-story home would mean you have to go two level up to get to the roof... So it has two floors. i.e. Level 0 and level 1.
What is a single floor home called then? A flat?
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.
