The Benefits of Bungalow Living

Bungalows, thanks to their stairless, single-level design, make for a more accessible family home; being particularly brilliant for family members that struggle with mobility. Bungalows also require more maintenance and tend to be easier to insulate. 

The main benefits of living in a bungalow include...

Stair-free access

Bungalows are particularly brilliant for those with young children, as the stairless nature of bungalows means that there are fewer risks posed to some of the younger members of your family, with young children and toddlers no longer susceptible to accidentally falling down the stairs. Their lack of stairs also means increased accessibility, especially if your household has any wheelchair users. And, with a home you plan to grow old in, it is lovely knowing that your property will also be future-proofed, since you will never need to move or install a stairlift if your mobility is ever restricted in the future. 

Being easier to heat

In a two-tier home, the heat tends to travel upstairs to the bedrooms and attic, but as a single-storey building, heat will be trapped at the ground level, allowing you to warm your home far more quickly. New build bungalows also have high EPC ratings, increasing your energy efficiency and helping you to reduce the cost of heating your home. 

Increased privacy

Worried about nosey neighbours? Bungalows are an excellent solution to privacy as well-placed hedges or fences can be used to block passersby from peering inside. It is also worth noting that Bloor’s selection of bungalows are all situated on private cul-de-sacs. 

What are the benefits of a new build bungalow?

In recent times, bungalows have proven particularly popular among a wide range of buyers, including young families and professionals who enjoy the ease of single-floor living. Today's new build bungalows are often constructed on larger plots, offering generous outdoor space for expansive gardens, play areas and room to entertain during warmer months. 

Designed with modern specifications and considered details that will make it feel like home, Bloor’s selection of detached bungalows also features: 

  • Garages and driveways with up to two private parking spaces, plus infrastructure for EV charging.
  • Open plan kitchen and dining rooms, creating open and sociable spaces in the heart of the home. These are perfect for family meals, hosting dinner parties or entertaining family and friends.
  • French doors that lead out to your new rear garden that seamlessly connect you with the outdoors while welcoming an abundance of bright, natural light inside. 
  • Stunning bay windows in the living room and master bedroom. These provide wide views of your garden, enhance your home’s natural light and create cosy nooks inside the house. 
  • Our executive detached bungalows also come with three spacious, double bedrooms, including a master bedroom with an en-suite shower – providing you with enough room for every family member and overnight guests.
