OT - Bungalows!
in Baby
Hi all
We have sold our house and hoping to exchange contracts within 3-weeks as we currently have no chain. We have looked at a few houses to buy and we went to see a bungalow today and really love it!
The bedrooms ARE small but hey, you only sleep in them!!!
Just wondering what peoples thoughts on bungalows are. does anyone live in one? how do you find it? We have Tobes who is 14months and hoping to start TTC for a 2nd, this time next year.
We are downsizing in terms of size but we're moving to a lovely area, bigger garden and good schools nearby.
It would be our hope that in 3yrs time ish, we could afford to have some work done to the property - either add a 2nd storey or build into the loft space. The house has been refurbished and is perfect to move right into - no work to be done only the garden to sort out (getting rid of many shrubs etc. so we can have plain grass for T to run around on)
Don't know what to do!!! Don't even know if the owner would accept our offer!!! LOL

Down side would be unlike lining in a 'house' the mess is in view for all whereas if downstairs is clean you dont care if upstairs is messy as no one will be up there lol, my house was timber frame so you could hear everything all over the house and obviously you were all on the same floor but it never really bothered me I would only think of this now as I have kids of my own but I suppose I was used to it so they would be?? They are used to sleeping upstairs with a bit more peace because that is all that they have known??
good luck xx
When I lived with my dad in a bungalow, the bedrooms were across a hall so a decent distance from the lounge, and the sound of the tv etc. If you don't want people seeing into the bedrooms you close the doors.
It's good not having the stair hazard.
I lived in a ground floor flat after the bungalow. A bit smaller, but still not too big a problem with sound.
I can't see any reason why a bungalow isn't as good as a house. It's whether you like it that's important! xx
I would seriously consider a bungalow, especially if the area is lovely, good luck, and sorry again for G/C x
ps. We keep our hallway clean and tidy, but when the bedrooms are messy, we just close the doors - better too if guests need to use the bathroom and an upstairs is messy :- )
MrsA - hubby said I am forbidden for broadcasting too much about the house on FB - such a misery! LOL
THG - is there something we don't know??!?!?!? "after the birth of number 2"............!!!
Thanks so much again! Joo xxx
Keep us updated xxx
Unfortunately we need to move somewhere bigger though, as we need a 3rd bedroom!
As stated earlier, its so much easier to clean, being all on one level!
We moved into a bungalow with a 2nd storey, about 6 weeks ago. From the front, it still looks like a bungalow. For some reason I was unsure about "bungalow-living" but having a 2nd storey combines the two. Upstairs there are 2 double bedrooms and a toilet (space to add a shower cubicle later on) and downstairs there are 2 double bedrooms (the 3rd was converted into the lobby and stairs area which is lovely and spacious and gives me space to have the pram in the house), then there is the bathroom, lounge, kitchen and conservatory. There are lots of options to extend etc so I would seriously consider it if you like it.
