Ashley Bungalow

The tiles and steeply pitched roof adorns the building, with peaked roof tops standing on walls on the eastern and western flanks masoned like a fortress. The high laden building has steps with scalloped ledges, which is a curious mixture of local styles and English architecture. As the Ashley Bungalow is situated on an opening in the Ghat, there are good views all around. One breath taking view is that of the “suicide Point,” a cliff in the Glenrock Estate over looking the bungalow.

All the four bedrooms of Ashley Bungalow have fireplaces and large bathrooms, which are ventilated by opening the top of the windows without loss of privacy. There is another single room with an attached bathroom which is also offered to the guests. This spacious home, with lofty domed ceiling made of wood and tiled floors, is still kept in its old grandeur. There is a master piece wood work, separating the dining room from the drawing room. The large windows and good wall space of the rooms join together effortlessly to give the bungalow an elegant look.
