Interesting. A lot of the bungalows down here have their living room at the front which to my mind is not a good thing. Ours runs right along the back so,we enjoy the garden.
I suppose we are lucky as we are in a very quiet cul de sac so bedrooms at the front aren't an issue for us.
like I said its all down to the design mate, from what I have seen the bigger bungalows on slightly more expensive areas around here are well thought out but a lot of the smaller older ones are very poorly designed,
Quite a few around here are jammed close together with the first 15 feet of the driveway shared between two properties before they split into separate drives which is all well & good until the idiot next door comes home pissed at 4am right under your bedroom window
Some of the older ones even have a single driveway serving two garages behind the bungalows, personally I'd never live in one of those
Having said all that we nearly bought a bungalow before getting this place, nice big corner plot with separate drive & a living room that went front to back with big windows either end & the bedrooms, kitchen etc off to the side behind the garage, it was a renovation project so I backed out of all that work but knowing what I know now about the amount of work this place needed it was a mistake
