The best 22 bungalows for sale NOW in every part of Britain: From a seaside retreat in Kent for just £450k, to classic Cornwall and some unbelievable bargains. Read our expert guide

Once seen as cheap and old-fashioned, bungalows are enjoying a revival.

First built as huts for Indian villagers and introduced to Britain during its colonial rule, single-storey homes became hugely popular in the 1920s thanks to trendy developments across the country.

After falling out of favour in the 1990s, they’re back in fashion, rising in value in recent years far more than any other property type.

‘Bungalows are now a highly sought-after asset,’ says Mike Churchill, residential sales pitcher at Savills Tunbridge Wells. ‘Due to their fantastic development potential, families and developers are competing to acquire them. A top bungalow has the capability to be expanded or developed further. If you manage to find one that ticks some of your search criteria boxes, I recommend you snap it up quickly.’

Competition for bungalows is fierce, so we’ve spoken to property experts and estate agents to bring you the 22 best bungalows currently on sale across Britain.
