Dwelling (also home, residence, abode) is a self-contained unit of accommodation used by one or more households as a home, such as a house, apartment, mobile home, houseboat or other ‘substantial’ structure. A dwelling typically includes nearby outbuildings, sheds etc. within the curtilage of the property, excluding any ‘open fields beyond’. It has significance in relation to search and seizure, conveyancing of real property, burglary, trespass, and land use planning. — Wikipedia
