Oakridge Cottage

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Oakridge Cottage is a rare British-era heritage bungalow that carries the quiet soul of another time. Tucked within lush, flowering gardens in the heart of Coonoor, this four-bedroom, pet-friendly home is surrounded by a living orchard of oak, fig, orange, and Thai guava trees, a dedicated cockatiel sanctuary housing 12 birds, and a tranquil fish pond that brings a sense of stillness to the property. Two gazebos — one seamlessly connected to the living room and another nestled deep within the garden — invite you to slow down, sip your tea, and simply be. Wild peacocks wander through the lawns regularly, mornings arrive wrapped in Nilgiri mist, and birdsong replaces every alarm clock.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">The home accommodates families and groups beautifully, with three spacious bedrooms within the heritage bungalow and a fully independent cottage offering privacy and comfort for additional guests. Evenings come alive with a barbecue, a crackling bonfire, and easy laughter in the games room over carrom and foosball. A well-loved kitchen garden grows seasonal vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower, beans, lemongrass, and chillies — all just steps from the kitchen. Your pets are as welcome here as you are, free to roam the open lawns and shaded garden trails. Oakridge Cottage doesn't just offer a place to stay — it offers a way of living that most of us have forgotten and quietly been longing for.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Layout&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Ground Floor — Main Bungalow</strong></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Entrance foyer with colonial-era detailing</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Spacious living room with heritage furnishings</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Gazebo 1 — directly accessible from the living room, opening into the garden</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Bedroom 1 — double bed, en suite bathroom</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Bedroom 2 — double bed</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Bedroom 3 — double bed, overlooking the garden</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Fully equipped kitchen with views of the fish pond</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Dining area</span></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Independent Cottage (Ground Level — Separate Structure)</strong></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Bedroom 4 — private entrance, double bed, attached bathroom, self-contained living space</span></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent;">Outdoor Spaces</strong></p><ul><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Gazebo 2 — nestled within the landscaped garden</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Fish pond — behind the kitchen</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Cockatiel sanctuary — adjacent to the games room</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Games room — carrom, foosball</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Orchard and kitchen garden — throughout the property</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Large landscaped lawn — bonfire and BBQ area</span></li><li><span style="background-color: transparent;">Open garden trails — pet-friendly</span></li></ul><p><br></p><p><br></p>
