The first modern British bungalows were designed by little-known English architect, John Taylor, (1818-1884), and built at Westgate-on-Sea, Kent 1869-70.

A review by Andy Brown of Historic England placed on a temporary page on the Historic England website in 2017 said "The term ‘bungalow’ originated in the Bengali region of India, meaning ‘house in the Bengal style’. But is this really where John Taylor’s design came from? Perhaps Taylor was merely designing cheap but weatherproof houses for working people, the culmination of a long-harboured aspiration of a socially-responsible architect.A passing journalist in 1870 likened Taylor’s buildings to bungalows, and the name stuck. Taylor himself adopted the term once it had become a bankable brand, championed by one of the most eminent physicians of the day, Professor Erasmus Wilson.

After purchasing the first four of Taylor’s bungalows himself, Wilson wrote to him “The idea of Bungalows seems to take people’s minds immensely. They are novel, quaint, pretty and perfect as to sanitary qualities. The best sanitary home for a family is a Bungalow”.

Of these early examples, only Fair Outlook survives, a corridor bungalow (Grade II listed), making this now the oldest genuine bungalow in the world."
