Bungalows - The single-storey stars of the property market

If you're in the market for a home that blends practicality with charm, a bungalow might be just what you're looking for. These single-storey properties have long been popular with downsizers and retirees, but their appeal is spreading to a much broader audience – from first-time buyers to growing families.

Why buy a bungalow?

One of the main draws is the ease of access. With everything on one level, there’s no need to worry about stairs - a real bonus for anyone with mobility concerns, young children, or just a love of convenience. Bungalows also tend to come with generous garden plots and are often located in quieter, residential neighbourhoods, making them a great choice for those seeking a bit of peace and privacy.

Are bungalows a good investment?

They're also surprisingly versatile. With fewer structural limitations than multi-storey homes, bungalows are ripe for renovation - think loft conversions, rear extensions, or even a full remodel. For buyers who love a project, there’s plenty of potential to make a bungalow truly your own.

Things to consider when buying a bungalow

Of course, like any property type, there are a few things to keep in mind. Because they’re all on one floor, bungalows generally need more land than a two-storey home of the same size, which can make them slightly pricier per square foot. And with living and sleeping areas closer together, some people find privacy or noise can be an issue, especially in more compact layouts.

Another factor is availability. Bungalows aren’t built as often as they once were, so they can be in high demand - especially in popular areas. But if you spot the right one, it’s worth acting fast.
