Here's what ive always seen as a "typical" bungalow, anyway:

The houses in England that I have seen called 'bungalows' are closer to what would be called a 'ranch' house in the US.

Around Chicago they are typically raised several feet above the grade and sit on a basement. Attic windows are common on many of them, even if the attic isn't high enough to use as living space. The windows add light to see around in the attic and give the exterior elevations more visual interest.
