Home's hit, receiving a gun shot (8)

I believe the answer is:

bungalow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'home's' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'hit receiving a gun shot' is the wordplay.
'hit' becomes 'blow' (I've seen this before).
'receiving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'gun'='agun'
'agun' anagrammed gives 'unga'.
'blow' enclosing 'unga' is 'BUNGALOW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bungalow that I've seen before include "A blowgun (anag.)" , "One-storeyed building" , "One-storeyed home" , "One-storied house" , "Type of house" .)
