I am on the look out for a bungalow too.
There were a couple on Ashworth St Baxenden recently, but the number of people who applied was far more than anywhere else, and the advert did say that preference would be given to people with connections to that area.

Since I had my shower install my need is not pressing.
Maybe when I can't do stairs anymore I will be keeping a close watchout for bungalows on Beech Close up New Lane.

The only thing I miss living here is a tiny private patch of grass where I can sit out without having to heave my lounge chair up and down 13 steps.

There are drawbacks to wherever you live - but I think peace and quiet is the most essential need in old age.
