just wondering why do the Brits (on the whole) so dislike bungalows? I've seen it on various property programmes where someone wouldn't live in a bungalow but thinks nothing of living in a flat... apologies apartment

previous owner of our one converted to a chalet bungalow a while back - kids have gone now but really see no point in moving up-stairs so more than happy with single storey living

I’m a similar vein to calling a flat an apartment, bungalows are now called ‘lateral living’.

Suits me!

This is my self build, calling it a bungalow seems wrong to me smile



TBH chap that suits me and Mrs Iroc to a 'T', looks lovely!

Where do all you live to be scared of leaving a ground floor window at night ? Basra ?

So far the best you can do with a bungalow is put windows in the roof, insert a mezzanine and rebrand it under some form of ‘chalet’ lifestyle, associating it with the affluent pastime of skiing.
well guilty as charged I guess
