Before you enter your eyes will be instantly drawn to the unique exterior design and elegant veranda. According to the history of the bungalow, the original owners in 1909 had returned to the UK after working on a tea plantation in India and decided they wanted their home to resemble the traditional type of house they had lived in whilst in India. The current owners have paid homage to this with a tea themed display.
