A pick of the best homes for single-storey living

Over the past few years, single-storey homes have surged in popularity, appealing to a new generation of buyers. 

Once a retirement favourite, the many benefits of the beloved bungalow have now reached a much wider demographic, including young families, empty nesters and others. 

There’s the obvious ease of having everything on one floor, but functionality and convenience does not mean a compromise in style. Often with a simple yet spacious, open-plan interior, the best bungalows offer the very latest mod cons and creature comforts.

Many single-storey homes are detached and tend to lie on larger plots of land – providing more privacy from neighbours and plenty of outdoor space. 

Truly a forever home, perfect for young families and retirees alike, the desirability of single-storey living means these homes are often rare to the market. From the more traditional to the contemporary, our gallery below features some of the best bungalows currently available for sale.
