Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
One of the most significant advantages of new build bungalows is their energy efficiency. According to recent data, new build bungalows are on average 62% more energy efficient compared to older homes. This translates to substantial savings on energy bills – homeowners can save approximately £124 per month, amounting to more than £1,480 annually!
Accessibility and Future-Proofing
Bungalows offer unparalleled accessibility with their single-storey design. This makes them ideal for people of all ages, especially those with mobility issues or families planning for the long term.
While traditional bungalows are single-storey homes, many modern designs incorporate a room in the roof, offering the best of both worlds. Here are some key benefits of a bungalow with a room in the roof:
- Extra living space: A room in the roof provides additional floor area without expanding the home’s footprint, perfect for a guest bedroom, home office, recreational space or spacious master bedroom.
- Increased property value: The extra room can significantly boost your property’s market value, making it an attractive investment.
- Flexibility: This design allows for future expansion without major renovations, adapting to changing family needs over time. Maybe you want to create a stunning master bedroom space but are thinking about the future flexibility of moving the master bedroom to the ground floor.
- Aesthetic appeal: Dormer windows or skylights in the roof room can add character to the exterior and flood the upper space with natural light.
A bungalow with a room in the roof combines the accessibility of single-storey living with the extra space traditionally associated with two-storey homes, offering a versatile and attractive housing option.
Open Floor Plans and Modern Design
One of the most exciting features of Kingswood Homes’ new build bungalows is the innovative ‘Shape Your Home’ concept. This unique offering allows homeowners to customise their living space according to their specific needs and preferences. With Shape Your Home, buyers can choose from a range of ground and first floor options, creating a bespoke property that truly suits their lifestyle. For example, you might opt for an open plan ground floor, add a home office or playroom, or even adjust the number of bedrooms and en-suites. This flexibility means that even if you fall in love with a home’s exterior, but the interior layout doesn’t quite work for you, Shape Your Home can provide a solution. It’s a revolutionary approach that puts the power of design in the hands of the homeowner, ensuring that your new bungalow isn’t just a house, but a perfectly tailored home.
Low Maintenance
New build bungalows typically require less maintenance compared to older homes. With everything on one level, tasks like cleaning gutters or exterior maintenance become much simpler and safer. Additionally, as everything is brand new, you’ll enjoy fewer repairs and less upkeep in the first few years of ownership. All Kingswood Homes bungalows come with a 10 year warranty so you will have additional peace of mind.
