Bribe given to a disreputable house (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bungalow

'house' is the definition.
(bungalow is a kind of house)

'bribe given to a disreputable' is the wordplay.
'bribe' becomes 'bung' (I've seen this before).
'given to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'disreputable' becomes 'low' (both can mean immoral or indecent).
'bung'+'a'+'low'='BUNGALOW'

(Other definitions for bungalow that I've seen before include "One-storied dwelling" , "A one-storey dwelling house" , "Single-storey home" , "A blowgun (anag.)" , "Single-storey house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sun.
