Heritage Bungalow

About this home

Cooke Town is one of the last quiet pockets of old Bengaluru, and this 1974 bungalow on Clare Road is the kind of house people drive past slowly. The bones are the whole point: 14-inch brick walls that keep it cool without trying, twelve-foot ceilings, and a verandah wide enough to actually live on. The current owners spent three years restoring it — new roof, rewired, replumbed — but they left the soul alone, right down to the original floor tiles. At ₹9.8 Cr it's priced for someone who wants character over a cookie-cutter tower, and who understands that a home like this doesn't come up often and certainly doesn't come up twice. Walk to the local market, the schools, and a bakery that's older than the bungalow.

• 14-inch walls, 12-ft ceilings and a verandah you'll use daily
