Ok seen dream bungalow on Internet, really nice area and culdisac. However the price is 50k more than I can afford and I think they have put it on too high. It's only been for sale for 1 month so not been on long. Semi detached 3 beds go for 180k cheaper in area and seen other detached around 60k cheaper just been sold…

Lots of bungalows in this neck of the woods sit on big plots of land, presumably built back when land was cheap.

Now they are being bought by developers who tear them down and put up 2 five bedroom houses. Kerching. Shame for anyone actually wanting to live in a bungalow !

This is true in most places in the UK
