Sounds like you need to be looking in nicer areas!!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
There are some very nice modern 4/5 bedroom houses about five minutes walk from me....and for some reason the designers decided that having a single entrance to the drives for each pair of houses was a good idea. Completely unnecessary, tons of room for separate entrances. It is certainly a feature that would put the property straight into the 'definetely not' pile if I were looking to buy that sort of place.
