The
Henwoods Bungalow
was built in 1938. The medium peaked roof and the gabled porch with charming
multi painted baywindows makes the bungalow a beautiful country house. The
northeast facing bungalow have inviting interiors which spreads from the long
front verandah. The walls are made of cut or dressed granite plastered only at
the edges. As you drive in from the south to the eastward facing, cute little
bungalow, unique in many ways, the first thing that attracts you is the
mirror-like flooring in coffee brown shade which has endured human footsteps for
more than half a century and lays still without having a scratch for the last
sixty five years. As we enter through the front door on the north, there is the
morning room and towards south is the living room and the bedrooms. A long
passage 
run across the north-east, separating the front and the rear of the
bungalow into two sections. The large spans of glass doors when kept open lets
lots of light and air into the interiors. The view from the living room, from where you sip down your morning tea is purely a dramatic one. We can see the sun, rise up, behind the contoured, green dunes, flowing across the full north east on the mountain belts of Western Ghats. The cozy interiors are well appointed with fire places is all rooms. The wooden arches of the heavily timbered doors are a marvel to watch. The furniture are abstracts of mid Victorian style. The front verandahs railed with wood are painted in white in contrast to the red tiled floor.. The floors and rails of the ‘L’ shaped verandah on the north east is filled with small flowering plants and creepers.
