11,429 bungalows came on the market in the 30 days to 3 October 2026. That's about 1 in 13 of all new homes for sale on home.co.uk. The median asking price was £335,000: £275,000 for a two-bedroom bungalow and £375,000 for three bedrooms.
Bungalows are scarce in cities and common along the east coast and in Lincolnshire. And whether one costs more or less than a house nearby depends on which end of the country you're in.

Do bungalows cost more than houses?
Nationally, a bungalow costs a little less than a house: a median of £335,000 against £349,950 for houses of all types. Area by area, though, the picture splits in two.
In much of the North and in Wales, bungalows cost more than other houses nearby:
| Area | Bungalow | House | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheffield (S) | £280,000 | £222,475 | +£57,525 |
| Swansea (SA) | £289,950 | £225,000 | +£64,950 |
| Carlisle (CA) | £300,000 | £230,000 | +£70,000 |
| Doncaster (DN) | £240,000 | £190,000 | +£50,000 |
In parts of the south of England, they cost less:
| Area | Bungalow | House | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tonbridge (TN) | £420,000 | £495,000 | −£75,000 |
| Southend (SS) | £375,000 | £425,000 | −£50,000 |
| Gloucester (GL) | £350,000 | £389,500 | −£39,500 |
A likely reason is what each one is being compared with. Where most houses are small terraces, a detached bungalow on its own plot is the bigger home. Where most houses are larger family homes, the bungalow is the smaller one.
How we worked this out: every home for sale that came onto home.co.uk between 4 September and 3 October 2026, excluding commercial property and anything under £20,000. "Bungalow" is the property type the agent chose. "House" means every other house type, excluding flats, maisonettes, park homes and land. Figures are medians, the middle asking price.
