Looking for a new build bungalow?
You're not alone. You've likely noticed how rare new build bungalows are. There's a reason for that.
Why are new build bungalows so scarce?
Why are new build bungalows so scarce?
Land in southern England is expensive. A bungalow needs almost twice the land area of an equivalent two-storey house.
That makes new build bungalows uncompetitive on price, unless you're willing to compromise on location or size. And few people want to compromise.
What most people searching for bungalows actually want
When we ask people why they want a bungalow, the conversation often turns to future-proofing: they want a home that works easily today and that also gives them confidence it'll still work in 10 or 20 years. They want a home they won't need to leave.
That's a different question. And it has a better answer.
Move once, not twice
Move once, not twice
With a Hebe home, you get the long-term confidence a bungalow promises — accessibility designed in from the start, not bolted on as an afterthought. It just happens to have two storeys.
Every Hebe home includes structural provision for a stylish lift. It can be installed during the build — designed to sit naturally within the home — or added later with minimal disruption. Either way, the space, groundwork and wiring are already there.
You may never need it. What matters is knowing you could.

As well as the lift, Hebe homes include a full suite of accessibility features, well beyond minimum building regulations: level thresholds, generous circulation space, a step-free shower as standard, thermostatic bath filler, and structural provision for further safety aids.
None of it looks or feels clinical. Accessibility at Hebe is discreet — there when you need it, unobtrusive when you don't.
A home worth moving to
A home worth moving to
Hebe homes are designed around how you actually want to live — with open-plan living, fewer but larger rooms, generous storage, low maintenance and low running costs in a warm, well-built home.
We build homes in market towns and villages in Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex — places you probably know already. Close to shops or a pub, and to green space. Connected to local life.
It adds up to a home that's worth moving to.
