Hint
Try to find out where Mrs Umbrella lives first.

Answer
From, left to right:
#1 Mrs Scott    - glass
#2 Mrs Umbrella - straw
#3 Mr Tidsley   - brick
#4 Mr Wilshaw   - wood

Reasoning
If we separate and label the clues, and label the bungalows #1, #2, #3, #4 from left to right we can see that:
Mrs Scott's bungalow is somewhere to the left of the wooden one. The third one along is brick. Mrs Umbrella owns a straw bungalow Mr Tidsley does not live at either end. Mr Tidsley lives somewhere to the right of the glass bungalow. Mr Wilshaw lives in the fourth bungalow. The first bungalow is not made from straw.
By (6) Mr Wilshaw lives in the fourth bungalow.
   #1
   #2
   #3
   #4 Mr Wilshaw

By (3), Mrs Umbrella owns the straw bungalow. By (7) it isn't #1, by (2) it isn't #3, so it must be #2.
   #1
   #2 Mrs Umbrella - straw
   #3
   #4 Mr Wilshaw

By (4), Mr Tidsley must therefore live in #3, which, by (2) is the brick bungalow.
   #1
   #2 Mrs Umbrella - straw
   #3 Mr Tidsley   - brick
   #4 Mr Wilshaw

By (1), Mrs Scott's bungalow must be #1, and #4 must be the wooden one.
   #1 Mrs Scott
   #2 Mrs Umbrella - straw
   #3 Mr Tidsley   - brick
   #4 Mr Wilshaw   - wood

This leaves #1 as the glass bungalow.
   #1 Mrs Scott    - glass
   #2 Mrs Umbrella - straw
   #3 Mr Tidsley   - brick
   #4 Mr Wilshaw   - wood

Hint
Look at the first and third columns first.

Answer
The missing sum is 40.
Circle   = 12
Star     = 3
Square   = 7
Triangle = 9

Reasoning
Looking at Column 1 and Column 3 we have:

[1]   Square + Star + Circle + Square = 29
[2]   Square + Square + Triangle + Star = 26

If we subtract [1] − [2] we get:

[3]   Circle − Triangle = 3

And Row 3 is:

[4]   Circle + Circle + Triangle + Circle = 45

If we add [3] + [4] we get:

Circle + Circle + Circle + Circle = 48

So, Circle = 12.

Using [3] we find that Triangle = 9.

Using Column 2 we find that Star = 3.

Using Row 1 we find that Square = 7.

Double-Checking
The rows add to: 35 + 26 + 45 + 25 = 131.

The columns add to: 29 + 36 + 26 + 40 = 131.

The rows and columns must add to the same number, so this could have been used a shortcut to the missing sum.

In total, there are:
   5 Squares   = 5 x 7  = 35
   5 Circles   = 5 x 12 = 60
   3 Stars     = 3 x 3  =  9
   3 Triangles = 3 x 9  = 27

Which is also a total of 131.

So all of the totals are the same, as expected.
