If you’ve spent any time searching for a bungalow, you’ll know how few come onto the market. Only a small proportion of homes listed for sale are single-storey – and the majority of these are older properties, often in need of extensive renovation.

Across the UK, the number of new bungalows being built has declined significantly over recent decades. While demand for single-storey living has remained strong, most new developments have focused on higher-density housing. The result is a shortage of modern bungalows that meet the needs of today’s buyers, leaving many people struggling to find a home that offers the comfort, accessibility and practicality they’re looking for.

For many buyers, choosing a bungalow isn’t just about today; it’s about finding a home that will continue to work for them in the years ahead.

Some are downsizing from larger family homes and want a property that’s easier to maintain without compromising on space or comfort. Others are planning ahead, choosing a home that can adapt as their circumstances change, reducing the need for costly and disruptive moves later in life. For those with mobility considerations, or simply those who value the convenience of all-on-one-level living, single-storey homes offer comfort and practicality from day one.

Bungalows also provide a lifestyle that many buyers value. With seamless access to the garden, practical layouts and bright, open living spaces, they are designed to make everyday life easier. Their adaptable design also gives homeowners the confidence that their home can continue to meet their changing needs throughout every stage of life.

Here at Viga Homes, we believe there’s a clear need for thoughtfully designed, high-quality bungalows, which is why they’re the sole focus of everything we build.

Every decision begins with single-storey living in mind. From the way natural light moves through the home to the relationship between living spaces and gardens, every layout is carefully considered. Storage, accessibility, flexibility and flow are all designed into the home from the outset, creating properties that are practical today and adaptable for years to come.

Our homes combine contemporary design with the qualities buyers value most:

Energy-efficient construction to help reduce running costs.
Well-planned spaces that maximise natural light.
Flexible layouts that can be adapted to support changing lifestyles and future needs.
High-quality specifications chosen for durability and lasting value.
