Actually, I never knew "ranch" was a common category of houses in the
US and not just for people like the Ewings. I learnt this from a flip
flop housing show with that white guy and his Asian looking partner.

It's a popular style.  Everything is one level, no upstairs
and depending on your lot, no basement either.

A zillion years ago when I smoked we had a specific area at
work to puff.  It was always the same group of people and
one of men was older than most of us.  He said he lived in
a large house with an upstairs where of course the bedrooms
and baths were.  His and his wife's health had deteriorated
enough that they no longer accessed the upstairs and had
moved their bedroom downstairs.  They had half a house they
couldn't use and I'm pretty sure the smoking didn't help
their health issues.

A house with no floors is called a bungalow in Dutch, but I think
ranch houses are bigger, more spread out.
