Dwelling - A dwelling is a unit of accommodation (normally a house or flat) where all the rooms and amenities (i.e. kitchen, bath/shower room, and WC) are for the exclusive use of the household(s) occupying them. Amenities may be located outside the front door but provided they are for the exclusive use of the occupants the accommodation is classed as a dwelling.
