Bungalow

Bungalows hold a special place for offering simplicity, functionality, and a compact living experience. Characterized by their single-story design, bungalows minimize the need for staircases, making them an ideal choice for seniors, those with mobility issues, or families with young children. The design of a bungalow focuses on maximizing living space within a smaller footprint, often featuring open floor plans, wide hallways, and large windows to bring in natural light.

Beyond their practical layout, bungalows are appreciated for their aesthetic charm and variety of styles, ranging from the traditional Craftsman bungalows with their detailed woodwork and cosy front porches to modern interpretations that emphasize clean lines and open spaces. The single-story nature of bungalows also allows for easier expansion, either outwards or by adding a second story, subject to building regulations.

The popularity of bungalows in the property market is also due to their typically larger lot sizes, offering ample garden space that encourages outdoor living and provides privacy. While the market for bungalows can be competitive, especially in areas where land is at a premium, they remain a sought-after property type for buyers looking for a home that combines charm with practicality.

Also a more recent trend is old bungalows being purchased by property developers with the goal of demolishing the existing property to build multiple townhouses on the typically larger plot size, creating a profitable return for the developer.
