We also have a bungalow. Our conclusion: The hallway will be the hub that you walk through multiple times a day. So give it some attention to make it as attractive as possible. Then very important (also because I experienced it with my grandma): The bathroom directly next to the bedroom. As you get older, your bladder weakens, and anyone who has ever had a kick to a full bladder during pregnancy knows that every meter counts. Topic double garage: My father-in-law also didn’t want to part with his motorcycle because he said he still rides it. But seriously, does your father really still do that, and if so, for how long? Age spares no one. Planning a double garage for that is a real waste of space and money. Better to have a single garage as a workshop with a door to the garden. Behind the garage then a small carport where the race bike can be covered and stored. In front of the garage then another large carport for the car(s). Topic house shape: A bungalow in a rectangle shape is always bad and creates uncomfortable hallways. See if you can get an L-shape. This way you get a covered terrace and can place the rooms much better.
