Could someone tell me what' the special term for such a village or settlement?
I mean those to which only one road leads, so the village etc. can both be accessed and left through this one route.

I'd like to thank you for your help. I did some Google-ing and it turned out that there is such a thing as "cul-de-sac village".
That's the expression I was looking for,

Yes, there is. Such villages are referred to as 'zsákfalu' in Hungarian. Falu means village, and 'zsák' means bag. Thus, the village of that kind is like a bag: the same way leads both in and out there.

Is there a single word for that in Hungarian?

I don't think there is an actual term specific to a village per say, but we DO have the french expression cul-de-sac which applies to roads that are dead ends.
