Llyn Du

But if any viewers are still not convinced that bungalows can be beautiful, I would point them to our final example of single-storey living. Llyn Du in Snowdonia is a sobering lesson to anyone that ever dismissed bungalows as boring – because here we have single-storey living at its best.

Not only does this bungalow enjoy one of the finest locations I have ever seen for a house in Wales (tune in and you’ll see what I mean), it stands out for me as the house of the series. With huge plate glass walls that make it feel like the forest enters the house, with natural materials on every surface, and every room opening onto a lake-view verandah or deck, it has a perfectly relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere. And this is what bungalows are all about – they are leisurely buildings, the most laid back of homes. For someone who had cringed at the thought of producing a programme on bungalows, I have now turned full circle to sign up for the club that understands the meaning of Bungalow Bliss.
