When it comes to renovation potential, bungalows are something of a hot commodity. Often unattractive and with little architectural merit, planners are often very accommodating to those wanting to give a bungalow a new lease of life. Add to this, that bungalows tend to sit on generous plots and have large footprints, giving renovators wide scope to maximise potential.

One way to breathe new life into a tired and dated bungalow is to add a second storey.
