Is there anything wrong with bungalows?

There must be a reason why bungalows sell at a discount to similarly sized houses.

Anyone care to share their opinion?

Thanks.

The very word bungalow screams "pensioner". I'd never buy one, even if I lived to be 100.

But a lot of old people actually prefer them, obviously on account of not having to walk up and down stairs and less maintenance and heating.

Believe it or not in some "elephants graveyard" areas, like many seaside towns, they're more saleable than houses.

I perceive bungalows to sell at a premium as they tend to be on larger plots of land

Cons
A lot smell of wee

I was going to post that they smell of sugar puffs ..... great minds eh?

Pros
Low maintenance
Lower running costs
No stairs to climb in your dotage

Cons
A lot smell of wee
Less storage space
Nowhere to hide from the missus so needs a decent shed in the garden
Décor tends to be chintzy

Eh!? Im not aware of any bungalow, room for room equivalent to a house selling at a discount unless its a wreck. Bungalows normally go for a premium over houses because they cover a larger plot of land.

Owning a slinky is a lot less fun in a bungalow.

Less living space for the same size of plot? No possibility of a loft conversion?
