The
Evergreen Estate Bungalow was built in
1955, during a time when the architecture of the valley was being influenced by
the British colonial style. This bungalow also reflects a quaint blend of local
style with a mild overlay of colonial architecture.
Tall interior with many tilt windows running across the eastern side of the
house let in lots of day light and fresh air. The medium pitched sheet roofs are
timber gabled. Placed atop a gentle hill amidst an evergreen rubber and spice
plantations of just over a hundred acres, not far from the little village
township of Koottickal, Kerala the house is remarkable for its calm and quite
surroundings. The steep hill to the north east form a close backdrop of
plantation, to the bungalow. The high ranges of Western Ghats rising steeply from
the base of the township can be viewed across from the southern side of the
bungalow.
The cool spaces of the verandah on the south east ,the cute sit out on the west
and the cozy north ward facing patio which blur boundaries between indoors and
outdoors is filled with calm and green to retreat to when you want to be by
yourself.
The guests can relax on its lawns late to the evenings as the host takes care of
them as a part of their family. The furniture are mostly of local origin and may
appear as abstracts of Queen Anne to Mid-Victorian . An unique piece among them
is the horse shoe shaped dining table May be one of its kind .
Accommodation
The bungalow has two bedrooms one on the south east and the second adjacent to
the first on north west, well ventilated and comfortable. The sit-outs can be
used by the guests at anytime of the day in total privacy.
