Would you buy a bungalow/"chalet-style house"?

I have to relocate next year and am finding that a lot of the properties available in the new area in my price range are bungalows or the mysteriously named "chalet-style houses".

Some of these look quite nice inside, modern decor etc. But for some reason I have a powerful resistance to the idea of actually living in one. Would I be able to sell it on or do other people also feel like this?

I should add that most of these seem to have had lofts done so do have an "upstairs".

So what's it like living in one of these and am I being silly?

I grew up in a chalet (built as a house but looked like a tall bungalow conversion with the upstairs rooms all having dormer windows).

Don't buy if you don't like spiders. There were literally 100s, don't know why, no subsequent house I've lived in has ever had as many.

As a previous poster has said, upstair rooms were stifling hot in summer. Maybe the spiders liked that?
