Reasons to consider a bungalow in West Sussex

Ready to take things down a level? Our new build bungalows in West Sussex could have everything you're looking for.

With no stairs to climb or clean, and everything you need on one floor, buying a new bungalow can make your life easier and give you more time to get out and enjoy everything West Sussex has to offer. Here are some of the reasons to consider making one of our new build bungalows your next home.

Why choose a new build bungalow?

One of the biggest advantages of living in a bungalow is that everything is arranged across one level. This is why these layouts prove so popular with downsizers who want a home that is easier to manage and simpler to move around in, especially if you want to reduce the amount of space you need to look after.

And choosing a single-storey home does not necessarily mean having to compromise on space. Our modern bungalows offer large living rooms, well-sized kitchens, double bedrooms and plenty of room for storage, along with gardens and garages. Plus, there's also the bonus of buying brand new. Fresh fixtures, modern heating systems, and energy-efficient features come built into the home, so you can leave the tool belt in the garage. After all, moving should reduce your housework, not hand you a new list of DIY jobs.

At Dandara, our collection of new build bungalows in West Sussex offers single-storey designs in a variety of locations, giving you options near the coast, in a quiet village or close to the city.

A bungalow located near the city at Hawthorn Grove

For those looking for a bungalow close to the city of Chichester, Hawthorn Grove in North Mundham is an excellent place to start.

The development includes The Grainger, a bungalow designed for comfortable single-storey living. The Grainger features two double bedrooms, built-in wardrobes and an ensuite to bedroom two, alongside a separate family bathroom. There is also a detached garage and driveway parking, giving you useful additional storage without taking away space inside the home.

Of course, the location adds to the appeal too. Hawthorn Grove is positioned between North Mundham and Hunston, around eight minutes by car from Chichester, so you can enjoy the convenience of the city's shops, restaurants and amenities nearby while living in a quieter spot away from city-centre noise.

Bungalow living by the coast at Wittering Place

If your ideal downsizing move involves trading traffic for sea air, Wittering Place in West Wittering offers a very different setting.

This development has The Read house type, a three-bedroom bungalow that proves just how spacious a single-storey floor plan can be. Three double bedrooms give you flexibility for guests, hobbies or a home office, while the wider design is suited to buyers who want their living space all on one level.

The location is easily one of the main reasons this coastal house type proves such a shore-fire hit with buyers making the move. With the sandy stretches and bracing sea air of West Wittering beach sitting on your doorstep and Chichester a short twenty-minute drive up the road, you can happily enjoy breezy beachfront strolls without feeling miles away from your favourite city shops.

What makes a bungalow work well for downsizers?

One of the advantages of choosing a new-build bungalow is being able to think about how the home will work for you in the future, as well as right now.

A low maintenance new build bungalow can remove the need to use stairs, while modern bathrooms, kitchens and living areas are designed around contemporary lifestyles. New build homes also require less immediate maintenance than many older properties, meaning you can spend less time hammering away at a never-ending list of jobs and more time putting your feet up.

Frequently asked questions

Are bungalows a good option for downsizers?

Bungalows can be well suited to downsizers because the main living areas are all located on one level. They can provide a more manageable home without necessarily giving up bedrooms, garden space, parking, or room for guests.

Where can I find new-build bungalows in West Sussex?

We build a range of bungalow house types across several West Sussex developments, including Hawthorn Grove in North Mundham, Wittering Place in West Wittering and The Springs in Hambrook. House types and availability vary by development.

Can a bungalow still provide enough space for guests?

Yes, a two or three-bedroom bungalow can provide a dedicated guest bedroom while leaving additional space for a study or hobby room for whatever else you fancy.

Why choose a new-build bungalow rather than an older property?

A new-build bungalow gives you a modern home without the renovation work that can come with an older property. You'll also benefit from modern energy-efficient heating and contemporary fixtures and fittings.
