What makes a house a bungalow?

A bungalow is a type of single-story house, typically characterized by its small size, low-profile design, and specific architectural features. The term “bungalow” originated in India during the British colonial period and was used to describe small, one-story cottages.

In the UK bungalows are very popular, particularly with an older demographic and command high prices. 

How do you name a bungalow?

Before we get into our prescribed list of bungalow name ideas, let’s talk about how to choose a name for your bungalow. 

There are a few suggestions to help you create a unique name for your special home that would be useful.

  1. Area: In order to create a memorable name, think about your natural world surroundings. What features surround your home? Large trees, field, lots of flowers, a hill, or something more notable? All these physical features can help you create a good name for your home and they’re a great way to begin. 
  2. Family:Cool house names aren’t easy to come by, but add something about your family. Perhaps the family surname is a good starting place, or do family members have nicknames you could use – the best house name ideas come from brainstorming sessions so sit with your family and bounce around ideas. 
  3. History: What about the history of your bungalow? Is there a notable point in time that depicts your home’s past? Could you use this as a feature in your bungalow house name? Adding names that have historical significance to a bungalow are a great way of recognising the part its played in times gone by.

I always like to suggest finding between 3 and 5 ideas for house names and play around with them for a while. Try them out with friends and family to see how they react. Write them down and imagine how they’d look on forms, on letters and on documents.

Do they stand out in the community? Make sure there aren’t any other homes nearby with the same or similar names, or things could get confusing for your neighbors and delivery companies.

Then one the most important things that often gets overlooked is – can you and other people pronounce it easily and clearly. When stating your address, both you and your children need to be understood – if you’re always having to spell your bungalow name, you could get pretty tired of it.

What are good names for a bungalow?

Finding the right house name can take time. Once you’ve come up with your idea (and you may have a few) don’t decide on it too quickly. Play around with it for a few weeks and really see if you like it before making your final decision.

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Is it distinctive?
  • Is it memorable?
  • Does it have a personal touch?
  • Is it a suitable name for my home?
  • Does it make a personal statement about me and my family?

Bungalow Names that Add Value

The impact of a house name will be minimal on the value of your home. Having said that, a unique house name will help the house stand out in a crowded housing market. A well-chosen house name will help the house feel more charming and memorable to potential buyers, helping you make a quicker sale.

Houses with names do not necessarily sell for more money than similar homes without names. While a unique and memorable house name can make a property more appealing to potential buyers, its impact on the sale price is generally minimal.

The value of a home is primarily determined by its location, size, condition, and other factors that affect its marketability. In many cases, these factors will have a greater impact on the sale price than the presence or absence of a house name.

Having said that here are some ideas for creating a sense of desire in your home or adding names that make it memorable and alluring to potential buyers.

  1. Whitehaven
  2. Manderley
  3. The Gables
  4. Argyle House
  5. The Grand
  6. The Finch House
  7. The Plaza
  8. The Grange
  9. Mulberry House
  10. Green Gables
