Pathway Towards Bungalow |
  |
After a few minutes drive from the entrance of the vast Tyford tea estate, one can see atop and adjacent dome shaped hilltop the roofs of Tyford Bunglow. The bungalow built in 1985 was named by Mrs. Baker as Tyford Bunglow, as she hails from Tyford, Berkshire in England . The winding pathway among the fine green plantations, circles round the building premises to enter from the west into the eastward facing bungalow that glimmers in the morning Sun. The colonial style building is built of archaic stone masonry and Indian woodwork . The Low pitched roof style lends the indoors a calm and cool atmosphere. From the sitting room extends a long corridor that has massive bedroom with old colonial style fireplaces on both sides. The bedrooms, through five in number, only three are provided for the guests, which are kept in perfect decorum, style and comfort giving coziness and a homely atmosphere. . The view from the eastward facing patio on the south is a sight to collage of Green tea plantation and red flame of the forest trees. Here and there the brown housetops just increase the charm. The north side of the bungalow lends a panoramic view of layers of Green hills melting away into the blue sky far away. The thickly bushed green hills which stand imposingly just in front of the backside sitting room lends the onlooker a sense of peace and solitude with its vastness and desolate virginity. |
