Architectural details:
As a home of a bachelor, it was built to one storey with only two bedrooms and an open courtyard. The house however had several large rooms for entertaining, dining and storing of paddy, rice, and other produce from the estate. The property was restored in 2015 by its current owners who converted the rooms surrounding the back courtyard, which were once storage areas, into bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms while preserving the original layout and architectural features. The original kitchen was converted to a pantry with all the modern amenities. A wattle and daub dwelling was also built separate from the main house in the style of a traditional firewood kitchen.
This manor house with its blend of Asian and European architectural influences epitomizes Sri Lanka’s rich colonial heritage. The interesting features of the house are its front façade, the elegant Victorian wood trims along the gables and roof edges, the white colonnaded verandahs, the fretwork wood panels above the transom of doors and windows, and the decorative wooden awnings over the windows of the main house. Characteristic of colonial architecture, the house also has near perfect symmetry and is geometric in design.
