Redefining the bungalow

Bungalows make up just two per cent of UK housing stock but are one of the most sought-after property types in the UK.

This demand has increased their value, often commanding a premium of as much as 20 percent over other homes in the same area.

In London bungalows are even harder to come by, but a unique opportunity to buy one in a leafy part of North London has arisen. Countryside Properties is breathing a new lease of life into a retirement community on Hammers Lane in Mill Hill, which comprises 71 one and two bedroom bungalows and 15 apartments specifically for the over 55s.

These superb homes will redefine the concept of retirement living, combining the comfort and convenience of a newly refurbished home, with all the charm of a traditional bungalow set in the peaceful surroundings of the Mill Hill conservation area parkland.

Yvonne Hudson-Green, Sales and Marketing Director for Countryside Properties, comments: “This is a unique opportunity to purchase bungalows in a truly stunning location so close to London. Properties like these, where you can personalise kitchens and bathrooms, and select flooring, very rarely come to the market.”

The homes are undergoing substantial refurbishment. Originally built in the 1930s, these homes include an array of period features such as high ceilings and deep windows but the refurbishment will enhance the properties through the installation of brand new heating systems, contemporary kitchens and bathrooms, and amending room layouts to better suit modern lifestyles.
