Savills Portugal

In the past few years we have seen the not-so-humble bungalow surge in popularity. Indeed, views of bungalows for sale on our website have more than doubled since 2019, as a new generation of buyers appreciate the many benefits of single-storey living.

Accessibility, of course, is a big part of the draw. Not only are there no stairs to contend with, bungalows often boast spacious and open floor plans, offering built-in flexibility which can be really attractive to young families, people with disabilities and those wishing to future proof their home to allow for greater independence when they are older.

With many bungalows being detached, they also allow for more privacy than an apartment, semi-detached or terraced home would typically provide. Bungalows also tend to sit within their own private garden, providing easy, level access to the outdoors for entertaining and cultivating a garden.

New build bungalows have the added advantage of being ready-to-move-into and super low-maintenance. With the latest in modern fixtures and fittings and the reassurance of new build warranties, they can be a compelling choice for those looking for stress-free living. Relatively rare in the market, they are much sought after – especially those situated in good towns and villages, within easy reach of amenities.

From traditional to contemporary, check out our gallery of some of the best new bungalows on the market today.
