Staying Grounded: Why popularity of the bungalow remains
In the ever-evolving landscape of property, housing trends come and go, but bungalows manage to retain their appeal across generations. But what is it about these single-story abodes that makes them so enduringly attractive?
Outdoor connection: Many bungalows are designed to seamlessly integrate with their natural surroundings, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Large windows, French doors, and expansive porches allow ample natural light to flood the interior while providing picturesque views of the surrounding landscape.

Architectural features: Single-storey homes have more opportunity to create something architecturally interesting. With no higher floors, unconventional ceilings can be used to manipulate space. We've launched two listings recently that utilise the opportunity for a vaulted ceiling to bring a sense of space and grandeur to the living spaces.

Efficiency and accessibility: An obvious advantage to combining all areas of a home on a single floor is accessibility. For children, the elderly or anyone with mobility issues, being able to navigate a home on a single floor makes the space much more accessible and practical. This is one of the main reasons why the bungalow remains a popular choice for families of all ages.
