front gabled (house) Explanation: See my ref comment and discussion entry. I appreciate that since Asker's text is a B&B brochure, my answer might not be entirely ready to use, but this seems to be what it is, technically speaking. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-11-23 10:04:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- breedhuis = side gabled (house/construction) |

| Reference: refs Reference information: wikipedia: Breedhuis Een breedhuis is een huis waarvan de nokrichting [= direction of the daknok / roof ridge] evenwijdig aan de straat verloopt, en waarvan de belangrijkste gevel, welke de voordeur bevat, dus evenwijdig aan de nok van het huis verloopt. Gewoonlijk is de straatgevel dan een lijstgevel, maar soms worden er ook één of meer topgevels geplaatst. Het tegengestelde van een breedhuis is een diephuis. ***************************** Diephuis Een diephuis is een huis waarvan de nok loodrecht op de straat staat. De voorgevel met ingangspartij is dan de belangrijkste gevel. Gewoonlijk betreft dit een topgevel. Als het huis een daartoe geschikt daktype heeft, bijvoorbeeld een schilddak, is ook een lijstgevel mogelijk. De tegenhanger van het diephuis is het breedhuis. ***************************** "Although bungalows in India generally had hipped (pyramidal) roofs, many different rooflines are found on bungalows in America.

A single gable might have its ridgeline parallel to the street (known as side-gabled) or perpendicular to the street (front-gabled). Multiple gables facing different directions (cross-gabled) are also common. Often the front porch may have a separate gabled roof of its own. A gabled roof may have its point clipped, known as a clipped gable, or jerkinhead, roof. Another type of gable roof is the gambrel (often found on barns), which has a lower slope that is steeply pitched and an upper slope that is less steep, allowing for more head-room on the upper story. The opposite of the gambrel, in which the top slope is steeper and the bottom slope less so, is commonly known as a saltbox, or ucatslide,” roof. Less common are various kinds of shaped gables, such as the Dutch gable, which was more often featured as a decorative" (https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=JNEeKsVkXg0C&pg=PA33&lpg... ) => having its ridgeline parallel to the street (= side-gabled) => breedhuis? having its ridgeline perpendicular to the street (= front-gabled) => diephuis? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2016-11-23 09:57:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- compare also: http://realtormag.realtor.org/home-and-design/structural-ele... http://realtormag.realtor.org/home-and-design/structural-ele...
