Singapore- A single storey freehold bungalow situated on Chiltern Drive is now on the market for $14.5 million. Over 30 years ago, the owner, known only as Dr. Lim, was immediately fascinated by the large land size when he first discovered the site. During that time, Lim was searching for a home that could comfortably accommodate his large family of seven, including his wife, four young sons, and his mother. When they bought the property in 1991, the original single-storey bungalow was a perfect fit for his family.
The property covers a 12,758 sq ft, freehold site which is located on a corner plot in Chiltern Drive. It is situated within the established landed housing estate of Braddell Heights. The asking price of $14.5 million for the bungalow translates to a land rate of $1,137 psf.

Neighbourhood transformation
During the 33 years that Lim has lived in the Braddell Heights estate, he has witnessed its transformation. He notes that the opening of the nearby Lorong Chuan MRT Station on the Circle Line, which is just a 10-minute walk away, has significantly improved public transport convenience for all residents. Additionally, the recent renovation of New Tech Park, a Business-1 zoned industrial building along Lorong Chuan, has added more F&B and retail amenities. New Tech Park is located next to Lorong Chuan MRT Station.
Generational family home
Lim and his wife have enlisted Martin Goh, the principal consultant at Realstar Premier Group, as their exclusive marketing agent to sell the bungalow. “Over the years of living here, our family has shaped this house into a home. As the children grew up and the family needed more space, we rebuilt the original bungalow about 26 years ago,” says Lim.
The single-storey bungalow was redeveloped into a 2 ½ storey house with an attic. The number of bedrooms was increased from four to six to provide individual bedrooms for the children. The generously sized master bedroom also comes with a stairwell that leads to an attic. “We deliberately expanded upwards and maintained the spacious lawn that runs along the side of the house and into the backyard,” says Lim. The garden is large enough for his children to play in while growing up, and he used to maintain some livestock in the backyard, such as turkeys and ducks. The green-fingered retiree has also tended to a diverse range of plants in his backyard for the past few years, including a big rambutan tree, a coconut tree and a grapevine. He still keeps two chicken coops, a few feathered pets running around and a koi pond.
The car porch and driveway are large enough to fit 15 cars. The ground floor has a separate living and dining room, a wet and dry kitchen, and a helper’s room. The second floor has four bedrooms, including a spacious ensuite master bedroom, while the third floor has two bedrooms. Lim also renovated the four toilets in the house about eight years ago.
Demand for bungalows
In recent months, there has been a notable increase in demand for large bungalow sites in the Braddell Heights neighbourhood. According to Realstar’s Goh, most buyers are attracted to the size of the land and its proximity to reputable schools. Based on EdgeProp Singapore’s Landlens search, four primary schools are within 1km of the property — St Gabriel’s Primary School at Lorong Chuan, Yangzheng Primary School at Serangoon Avenue 3, CHIJ Our Lady of Good Counsel at Burghley Drive and Kuo Chuan Presbyterian Primary School at Bishan Street 13.
Located in the bustling Woodlands area, Norwood Grand Condo boasts a prime location that offers unparalleled convenience. Positioned within the North Coast Innovation Corridor, this development takes advantage of the region’s ongoing transformation, making it an ideal choice for residents. Thanks to its strategic placement, both public transportation users and private car owners have easy access to this sought-after property.
Over the past decade, many of the large bungalow plots were purchased by developers and subdivided into smaller bungalows with land sizes of between 4,300 sq ft and 4,500 sq ft, he adds. In addition, the new owner could consider maximising the allowable gross floor area of the site. The existing 2½-storey bungalow has a built-up area of about 5,500 sq ft, but it could potentially be redeveloped into a new house of about 10,000 sq ft, reckons Goh. He estimates that reconstruction work may cost between $3 million to $5 million depending on the design and choice of materials. “However, if the new owner opts to tear down the house and rebuild it from scratch, it could cost between $4 million to $5 million, depending on the new design and choice of materials and fixtures,” says Goh.
